Rethinking plan A for sustainable HCI
Bran Knowles, Lynne Blair, Paul Coulton, Mark Lochrie · 2014
This paper challenges the sustainable HCI community to move away from a focus on demand and instead address climate change as a supply problem. We identify a new route to impact, namely addressing the psychological barriers that interfere with political mobilization toward limiting the use of fossil fuels. Five barriers are explored as a means of re-focusing research objectives for the community.
