A number of guest speakers, representing multilateral and non-governmental organizations, will introduce students to central issues, including sustainable development, responsible consumption and production, and affordable and clean energy. Particular attention is given to the phenomena of global warming and population growth. Students will also critically evaluate the range of interventions and policy frameworks that have been designed to address environmental problems, including administrative, market-based and community-governance responses.

It is relevant to students in the social sciences, health sciences and business.
