Sustainability and climate change are global issues, with many
cultural, organizational, technical, social, regulatory, economic,
and individual dimensions. Just as computer-based information
systems have been a driving force for societal progress, Green IS
can be a driving force for strategic sustainable solutions in
organizations and communities.
Green IS enables the transformative power of information systems
to support the multiple dimensions of sustainability. It addresses
the world’s greatest challenges including shrinking access to
non-renewable resources, decreased energy and food security, and
environmental degradation due to climate change. IS can play a
pivotal role in enabling sustainable solutions, which greatly
increase the effectiveness and efficiency of modern communities
and enterprises. Consequently, IS research can contribute in such
transformation towards a multidimensional perspective to
sustainability.
This track is open to any type of research within scope of Green
IS and Sustainability as well as those that adapt research and
industry experience into teaching cases and modules.
Potential track topics include:
* Managing Green IT/IS systems
* Green IS as a digital disruptor
* Governance and strategy in Green IS and Sustainability
* Green Business Process Management
* Decision support for logistics and supply chain processes
* IS-enabled collaborative processes for mobilization towards
sustainability
* IS-enabled multidisciplinary collaborations for sustainability
* IS-enabled smart cities and sustainable communities
* Designing and implementing systems for the Smart Grid
* End user acceptance and adoption of smart grid technologies
* Green HCI – Changing human attitudes and behaviors through
information
* Energy informatics – analyzing, designing, and implementing
processes to increase the efficiency of energy demand and supply
systems
* Resource informatics – designing and implementing systems to

* Designing and implementing systems that measure and validate the
impact of sustainable business practices and policies
* Critical competencies and curricula for Green IS graduates and
professionals
* IS-enabled sustainability of educational campuses and
institutions
* IS to support carbon management, accounting and reporting
* Sustainable development in transitional and developing countries
* Global and cultural issues in Green IS and Sustainability
* Data Science and Sustainability
