Dear Ursula,
Discussion of Sustainable Design being holistic and covering social and human well-being (as well as environmental) is not "many decades old" to my knowledge. If you can give some sources for that older than 10-12 years ago, other than perhaps Papanek who never used the term, that can support that claim then please share. Sustainability in general has been discussed in those terms for longer, sure. Literature specifically relating to design that is explicit in discussing human wellbeing etc. is more recent than that, obviously.
What I am proposing goes above and beyond any literature on the more holistic Sustainable Design definitions currently available. I haven't fully explained it in my email to be succinct and because I'll be presenting it later.
I find your suggestion to "just Google it" to be rather insulting also. I don't know why you would assume anyone on the list is so ignorant of the literature in our field that they would need to "Google it" to educate themselves.
Regards,
Paul Russell

Dear Colleagues,
interesting discussion around design for the world instead of design for the user.
I like to point out that there is a design definition for already many decades that does what you are searching for:
„I have recently started thinking about what will replace the HCD approach, which itself replaced UCD well over 10 years ago now, and I came to the title of 'Humanity-Centred Design'. It happens to be used in a couple of places already if you google it, but is not properly defined by any of them so I have tried to do that.“
And that is Sustainable Desing or Design for Sustainability.
And there are many many people worldwide discussing and working on it. just google it:)
best regards
Ursula
