We need to change some of the core paradigms of UX

What is Sustainable UX?

SUX is the approach to design sustainable digital products by moving beyond user-centered design to an environmental and humanity centered design approach.

We focus so intensely on the needs of our users and try to align them with business needs that we completely overlook who or what else is affected by our designs. Every product always has a larger systemic context. There are always additional actors (human and non-human) involved beside our users, direct or indirect.

We must stop designing solely for our users and instead always understand and review our work within the systemic context.

The SUX Network was founded in 2021 by a group of designers with the mission to transform UX to Sustainable UX and to make Sustainability default in the digital design process.

SUX Podcast

EP 15: "A fossil free internet by 2030" with Hannah Smith

28/05/2024 Moderator: Thorsten Jonas

For this episode of the SUX Podcast we were joined by Hannah Smith, who is the Director of Operations of the Green Web Foundation. We spoke about how to make the web fossil free until 2030, if we are on track here and how Designers, Developers and all professions need to join to work towards this goal. But we also spoke about the role of AI in all this and how our use of tech in the northern/western world creates a lot of injustice because of our massive overconsumption of energy. And we dived into AI and the problems that come with it - ecologically as well as socially. Tune in to the latest episode of the SUX Podcast:
