This chapter examines the experiences of individuals from marginalised communities-such as LGBTIQ+, people with disabilities, under-or unemployed-and what they imagine a net zero future to look like. It then introduces government policies related to global warming and climate change, acknowledging that these communities are often excluded by both government and media in research and discussion on policy development. Using a participatory design methodology, the research provided opportunities for members of these groups to speculate on future needs.
