WORLDING is a research and development initiative founded at the MIT Co-Creation Studio. WORLDING ignites the co-creation of climate future stories that lead to real-world impact. Founded in 2021, this groundbreaking research and incubation initiative bridges storytelling in virtual environments with community wisdom and land-based placemaking.

WORLDING supports an emerging interdisciplinary field drawing on documentary, social XR and game engine technology, community-based design, land-use planning, data visualization, and climate science.
