Computing education for sustainability

Computing plays a critical role in sustainability. This paper examines the status of education for sustainability in computing. There are clearly stated high level declarations for sustainability education, and much activity and success in other disciplines, notably engineering and business. Despite this, computing lags behind. The paper concludes with a proposal for an agenda for computing education (both teaching and research) that incorporates sustainability at all levels.
