Wjerk.

Wjerk is a climate design studio run by Kristian Bjørnard and a revolving cast of collaborators. We design for the welfare of all life. We value sustainability, open access, transparency, collaboration, social justice, and pointing culture toward a future where we operate a still hospitable spaceship earth ... We can’t solve climate change without social change — nay — everything change!?
