Computing education for sustainability

Abstract

This paper presents policy on Computing Education for Sustainability for adoption by SIGCSE. The paper describes results from a survey of Computing Educators who attended ITiCSE 2008 where such a policy statement was mooted. This survey also provides a comparison of understandings of sustainability held by those computing educators against recognized benchmarks. From these findings and understandings an action plan to integrate Education for Sustainability into computing education is proposed.
