Dear colleagues,
We are happy to announce the call for papers for our one-day
hybrid workshop on “HCI for Climate Change: Imagining Sustainable Futures” at
the upcoming CHI 2023 conference <https://chi2023.acm.org/>.
As the climate crisis is turning into one of the most critical issues of
our time, HCI researchers keep reflecting on the role their work can play
in reducing the impact of adverse environmental changes. The HCI community
has been addressing these changes and challenges from multiple angles -
angles, which have several points of contact and would benefit from finding
synergies. With this workshop, we aim to convene the CHI community to
discuss how HCI can leverage its traditional skill sets and
multidisciplinary influences to address climate change issues.
Our full workshop proposal can be accessed here

.
After the workshop, we will create a special issue in a journal to which we
invite all the workshop participants to submit.
