Dear members,
The new /TATuP - Journal of Technology Assessment in Theory and
Practice/ (Vol. 31, Issue 2) has been published online. Topic: "Energy
sufficiency: conceptual considerations, modeling, and scenarios for less
energy consumption " (EN/DE).
Sufficiency as a general sustainability strategy is a well-known
concept. Although it is frequently discussed in academia and civil
society, it is not yet well established in policy. Unlike efficiency and
consistency, sufficiency aims at absolute reductions. In particular, the
challenge of mitigating climate change requires that demand-side
measures be developed with increasing urgency.
Sufficiency has several advantages: it appears to be critical to
avoiding overshooting planetary boundaries, it mitigates the unintended
side effects of other sustainability strategies, it promotes sovereignty
and resilience, and it enhances equity and freedom-to name just a few
benefits detailed in the introduction by Ben Best et al. The current
issue of TATuP presents new research approaches and projects around
sufficiency. (PDF of the whole issue here
)
In the TATuP interview
"Sufficiency
policy," (in German) Michaela Christ talks with Uwe Schneidewind, mayor
of the city of Wuppertal, among other things, about why sufficiency
policy is considered particularly sensitive and why it is especially
important in times of crisis.
Also in the current TATuP issue: a research article on artificial
intelligence as a leader
(Article
in English), conference reports from, among others, the symposium
"Robotic Systems for Care," a review on the gender data gap reviews and
news from the TA scene.
Please also remember our open calls: submissions
of research articles, book
reviews, conference reports, etc. are always welcome.
We wish you an exciting read!
