The Twin Transitions: Digital Sustainability in Practice
Wednesday 22 October 15:00 until 17:00
ÈÕº«ÎÞÂë Campus : Sussex Humanities Lab (opposite SB211) Silverstone Building
Speaker: Jo Walton
Part of the series: Digital Methods Accelerator (DMA) programme 2025-26

This hands-on workshop introduces the concept of the “twin transitions” linking digitalisation and sustainability, using the Digital Sustainability Game developed by the Digital Humanities Climate Coalition. Using playful learning, participants will explore the materiality of the digital—from cloud storage to AI tools—and the costs and opportunities for sustainable innovation. You’ll also be introduced to a range of tools and resources to explore further – from creating low carbon websites, to the thorny topic of measuring AI’s environmental impacts. No prior expertise is required, just curiosity about how the digital and green transitions shape each other. This workshop will likely also be of interest to staff and students with an interest in futures and foresight, creative facilitation, and play-based learning.
The workshop is open to Sussex researchers at all levels - please register using your @sussex.ac.uk email address.
This workshop is part of The Digital Methods Accelerator (DMA) programme 2025-26, a series of in-person workshops aimed at Social Sciences and Humanities researchers at all levels wanting to explore and skill up on digital methods for their research.
