Editorial by Prof. Dr. Falk Uebernickel
Co-Head of HPI d-school
Falk Uebernickel explains how Design Thinking combines technology, behavioral research, and sustainability to tackle the climate crisis in an innovative and effective way. The approach towards technology is crucial for effective climate mitigation: modern tech must be designed in such a way that people can use it sensibly.
Interview with Dr. Vincent Beermann
Postdoc Research at HPI d-school
Vincent Beermann recently completed his doctorate on green nudges at HPI d-school. At the intersection of psychology, sustainability, and digitalization, he investigates how psychological insights can be used to encourage people to adopt more sustainable behavior. Read the interview to find out what the crucial steps are in designing a nudge that has a feasible impact. Using exciting examples from his own research, Vincent shows that sustainability can be easier than you might think – if the political willingness is there.
