摘要

本文研究了数字化与可持续发展目标之间的关系。数字化通常被视为一种变革力量,改变我们的生活和工作方式。可持续发展目标将信通技术等数字化技术描述为可持续发展的推动者。这些技术本身的不可持续性实际上可能会破坏数字化取得的成果。当我们将数字化和可持续发展目标的讨论放在行星边界框架的讨论中时,这一点就变得很清楚了。智能手机是我们这个时代最具象征意义的数字技术之一,它的例子表明了其生产和消费对生物圈的负面影响,生物圈是我们星球上所有生命的基础,对可持续发展目标的许多社会方面,如贫困、童工、体面工作与和平。但本文并没有促进可持续的数字化,而是提出了可持续性的概念,将其作为数字化可持续性的基本原则。虽然可持续性已经成为达到目的的手段,但维持就是维持生命本身。有了可持续性,数字化及其设计可以加强我们应对生活在有限星球上的挑战的能力。

Digitalisation and the UN Sustainable development Goals: What role for design
This paper investigates the relation between digitalisation and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Digitalisation is often presented as a transformative power, changing the way we live and work. The SDGs describe digitalisation technologies such as ICTs as enablers of sustainable development. The unsustainability of these technologies themselves may actually undermine the gains made in digitalisation. This becomes clear when we locate the discussion of digitalisation and the SDGs in a discussion of the Planetary Boundaries framework. The example of one of the most emblematic digital technologies of our time, the smartphone, shows the negative impact of its production and consumption on the biosphere, the basis for all life on our planet, and on many of the social aspects of the SDGs, such as poverty, child labour, decent work, and peace. But rather than promoting sustainable digitalisation, this paper proposes the notion of sustainment as a foundational principle for the sustainability of digitalisation. While sustainability has become a mean to an end, sustainment is about sustaining life itself. With sustainment, digitalisation and its design can strengthen our ability to respond to the challenges of living on a finite planet.
