Lecture:

2 x 3 Hours Quarterly

Syllabus:

An examination of the contributions governments can make towards sustainable development. Investigation of the origins of sustainable development in the international debate on environment and development are investigated, as well as their translation into multilateral environmental and social agreements and implementation through national strategies. Further analysis focuses on whether and how the market can contribute to sustainable development, which sets the stage for investigating appropriate social, environment, economic and other policies that create market framework conditions that are favourable to sustainable development. Best practice tools and methodologies for national sustainable development strategies are presented, as well as local and regional approaches, including Local Agenda 21. Students attend a three-hour lecture once every three weeks.
