The Information Systems (IS) community has the opportunity to
advance inclusive and sustainable social development and to
transform human behaviors and business practices that have become
environmentally unsustainable. However, affecting such positive
change is a 'wicked problem' with many interacting components,
many uncertainties and equivocalities, and many views on methods,
even where there is agreement on the end goal. These are grand
global challenges that are complex, multi-layered,
transdisciplinary, and socio-technical in the sense of
fundamentally involving humans and how we do things.
Recognizing that the IS community must move from discussion to
action, the goal of this special issue is the construction and
dissemination of applicable knowledge within the IS community in
relation to the SDGs related to social development and the natural
environment. We encourage solution-oriented submissions that can
make immediate contributions to the sustainable practices adopted
by organizations, societies, and individuals: preference will be
given to papers that include measurable sustainability outcomes
that link to one or more of the SDGs. The special issue is also
open to 'dependent variables' and more general outcomes that
pertain to the issues at hand such as reduction of pollution in
the air or water, access to nutritious food or stable housing as
well as the traditional IS measures of use, user satisfaction, and
success. We are primarily interested in how the research has or
can affect these global problems, but we also want to see the role
and influence of information systems and digital technology as a
component of the study to provide connection to and grounding with
our AIS community.
Due date for paper submissions: 31 October 2022
