About the course
Aim
Upon completion of the course, students should be able:
- to describe and analyse global environmental problems and biogeochemical processes in relation to the social, ecological and economic dimensions of sustainable development
- to identify planetary boundaries and discuss their relationship to sustainable development
- to apply and compare scientific perspectives to discuss complex relationships, synergies and goal conflicts in sustainable development
Content
The course introduces and problematizes concepts such as environmental challenges, planetary boundaries and sustainable development by studying climate change, biodiversity, eutrophication, and water and land issues. Planetary boundaries can be understood as a framework for economic and social development and are thus closely associated with the concept of sustainable development.
The course thus deals with the causes and effects of global environmental problems, and discusses the social, political and economic conditions at play within the planetary boundaries.
