Popis: First, this study asks what Information Communication Technology for Sustainable Development (ICT4SD) has to look like in a global decision space? In answering this question, ten important general design issues are suggested as a checklist when making a human computer interface (HCI) to reach cheaply and durably all people, all regions, and all material uses to aid a clean circular economy. Second, a case study recounts how these ten recommended design issues are being integrated in the Commodity Ecology Mobile (CEM) platform, still in development. The CEM is a merged mobile-accessible platform and online database project recognized by the United Nations Academic Impact Office (UNAI) as a good way to really achieve Sustainable Development Goal #12 (Encourage Sustainable Production and Consumption). The CEM design allows all peoples worldwide to debate and to create their own detailed regional sustainable development of a ‘circular economy’ based on better material choices and better waste flows. This debate occurs within a virtual community platform that integrates simultaneous elements of social media, newswires, archives, crowdsourcing, databases, gamification, voting, and future smart contracts toward business incubation. Therefore, it is important to make design decisions that address the real world of varied technical and social access issues across the world: from stable or intermittent bandwidth and electricity, to respecting local knowledge in different regional agenda settings, to language differences, to age and gender inclusion, to education levels, and how to keep people interested. In conclusion, this paper recounts how to build HCI for deep civil deliberation in global and multi-regional debates, for long periods of time toward sustainable development, while minimizing cost to users or administrators across developed and developing countries alike. Further advice is asked from academics or practitioners for how to design better global-level platforms that can “change the world.”
