New National Dish: UAE is a project that asks how climate change will change what people might eat in the United Arab Emirates in the year 2030.
It tells the story of four different possible future scenarios in the year 2030 with a flag and a recipe for each. The four scenarios draw on research about the environmental, economic, and social impacts of climate change.
Utilizing a scenario planning methodology, we have generated four radically different futures for you to try on and taste. Each future is based on the idea that a New National Dish needs to be resilient and able to adapt in the face of predicted and unexpected challenges alike. These futures are not predictions, but rather edible fictions you can use to imagine with or push back against.
