Consumption patterns are increasingly influenced by the ubiquitous presence of ICT in our daily lives. As digital services are considered less carbon-intensive that most other consumption categories, increased usage of ICT can mean increased dematerialization of consumption, and thus overall lower carbon emissions, and lower resource use. However, ICT-adoption also has the potential to make activities cheaper, less time consuming, and easier. It has been suggested that on balance, increased ICT use leads to increased energy use, due to increased economic activity. This workshop aims to bring together academics and professionals in the fields of Sustainable Consumption and Information and Communication Technologies. The primary objective is to foster community building and stimulate passionate discussions about emerging topics related to ICT and consumption.

The social-ecological crisis requires radical changes. How do we align research in computer science (CS) with the pressing challenges of the Anthropocene? Should we therefore abandon certain areas of research? Or focus more on others? This workshop, initiated by a thinking group at Labos 1point5, aims to collect ideas on which CS research could be useful for the transition while having minimal environmental impact. It will complement an ongoing campaign of semi-structured interviews with CS academics in France. More info here - https://esslab.pubpub.org/ict4s-2024
