In "Issue Five, Climate Realities and Responses," we reflect on the biggest design challenge of all: the climate crisis and its compounding reverberations. The perils of a changing climate are not approaching-they are here, and, in the words of contributor Rania Ghosn, "whole worlds have already ended, sometimes multiple times over." Yet there is so much left to fight for if we can come together to rethink the systems that connect us both to our planet and to one another, and if we can face that a stable, habitable climate on earth is no longer the presumed backdrop for our imaginations. On our cover, we honor marine biologist, policy expert, and writer Ayana Elizabeth Johnson who, in an interview with guest editor Mark Chambers, helps us picture and commit to a climate future in which survival is not only possible, but an enticing invitation to which we are all called to respond.

Issue Three is led by a conversation between the Black Reconstruction Collective and Deem co-founders Nu Goteh and Alice Grandoit-Šutka. This dialogue of twelve distinct voices explores how we can best understand equity as a complex design challenge that recognizes and accounts for disadvantage, damage, and liability. With the architects, artists, designers, and scholars of the BRC, we consider the meaning of reconstruction, the relationship between equity and reparation, and the role of the institution in our visions for the future. The contributors to our third issue include:Alexis Aceves Garcia, Alice Grandoit-Šutka, Althea James, Andrew Cole, Arianna Gil, The Black Reconstruction Collective, Cuidando a las que nos cuidan, Danielle Brathwaite-Shirley, Designing Motherhood, Elleza Kelley, Isabel Flower, Jezz Chung, Julia Lucey, Julian Rose, Mia Birdsong, Monica Uszerowicz, New Red Order, Nu Goteh, Rob Lewis, Robin D. G. Kelley, Se Young Au, Silvia Federici, Taeyoon Choi, Yewande Pearse

For Issue Two, "Pedagogy for a New World," we are examining the role of design in the ways we produce and share knowledge. Issue Two is led by a conversation between artist, architect, and community organizer Lauren Halsey and Deem editors Alice Grandoit-Šutka and Isabel Flower. The story investigates architecture and the power of place, the importance of community autonomy, and how Halsey's goals as an artist have manifested in the Summaeverythang community center in South Central, Los Angeles.
