Complexity Literacy for a Sustainable Digital Transition

Abstract

Educational measures in line with challenges related to increasing complexity need to go beyond traditional educational means and require the integration of the basic competences of systems thinking and complexity understanding. In addition, the chapter argues for a transdisciplinary approach, based on knowledge integration across disciplines and between science and practice together with supporting communication patterns and strategies. In order to train current and future generations for this kind of transition process, with the aim of making this emergent digital environment ecologically and socially sustainable, we must consequently adopt digital literacy as well as complexity understanding and systems thinking in sustainability education more consistently.
