New courses on sustainable development at SDSN.edu
The Sustainable Development Solutions Network has launched a new education initiative, SDSN.edu, which will be offering courses on sustainabledevelopment created by experts from around the world, throughout the Fall.
Some of the courses include:
- A course on The Age of Sustainable Development offered by Jeffrey Sachs, starting September 9, 2014. Students that complete the course will receive a free e-book version of Prof. Sachs new book, titled The Age of Sustainable Development.
- There is also a two-semester course on Climate Change Science & Negotiations, taught by Prof. Sachs and Emmanuel Guerin, that will introduce the science and policies of climate change. The course includes a simulated UNFCCC negotiation during the second semester, in which students take on the role of country delegates. This course coincides with the broader SDSN Climate Change Call to Action.
- Planetary Boundaries and Human Opportunities, by Prof. Johan Rockström and his colleagues at the Stockholm Resilience Center, offers an outstanding overview of sustainability science and potential pathways for human well-being.
