Abstract Text The keynote presentation defines three big Issues for developing "ICT for Sustainability" (ICT4S) as a research field: 1. Understanding and improving the role of ICT in technological substitution at all levels of the resource tree. 2. Understanding and shaping the micro-macro link: How does the socio-economic system translate micro substitutions into societal change at the macro level? 3. Developing "accompanying measures": Designing technological artefacts is neither sustainable nor unsustainable in itself – it is unavoidable to attach a political message to them. How can this be done systematically? How can we develop the arenas of discourse needed? And how can ICT help here?
