Course Aims

This course pursues two innovative objectives: first, it provides students with the knowledge of and capability to critically think about the principles, alternative conceptions and theoretical interpretations of the notion of sustainable development; second, it introduces students to cutting-edge research on sustainable development policy and practices and to the processes of policy-making for sustainability at the international and local level. Students will then be able to discover for themselves how theory, politics and process of policy-making are applied through the use of local, regional and international case studies related to the sustainability of resources such as air, water and climate as reflected in emerging international experience in the field.
