Digital sufficiency for sustainable DRI recognises ecological constraints in order to address the overuse of resources. It aims to shift from efficiency mindsets and practices to those that use “just enough”.
Digital sufficiency calls for scientific computing stakeholders and infrastructure providers who are purposefully mindful of only using what is needed, avoiding excess consumption and respecting ecological constraints.
We have used speculative design to synthesise themes from our workshops into a Sufficiency Noticeboard that asks “what might digital sufficiency look like in the actions of DRI organisations and communities in the future?”.
