Socialdesignzine 2003-2009
There is a time for everything. SocialDesignZine’s time lasted quite a few years. Indeed the past year was Sdz’s seventh year of activity, and the last one. Indeed, as of today, Sdz is ceasing all publications. In the lines that follow we will try to explain the reasons behind this decision.

Climate Change Hurts
On the 7th of December 2009 , in Copenhagen, the United Nations Conference on Climate Changes opened, ending on December the 18th.
