Abstract
Sustainability and sustainable development are extremely critical aspects in modern society. Sustainability is the term employed for the practice of ensuring that goods and services are produced in ways that do not use resources that cannot be replaced. This concept can be extended to any environmental, political, and socio-economical system, becoming a global concern that has been highlighted in several different re-search agendas. According to the general assembly of the United Nations defined in 2015 a universal call to action, defining 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) addressed not only to governments but also to businesses and civil society. The agenda goes to the heart of tackling a number of interrelated global issues such as poverty, inequality, hunger, and environmental degradation. In this scenario, the research area of Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) plays a key role into the design and development of software applications and practices aimed to achieve the SDGs. This paper depicts a vision about how HCI could be integrated in a better way through the inclusion of human values aspects in the design of interactive applications) lines before and after the abstract.
