Analysez les problématiques sociales et environnementales de notre société selon différents angles de vue et développez des connaissances scientifiques systémiques sur les enjeux planétaires du 21ème siècle.
This course explores the concepts of "sustainable development" and "transition", tracing their origins, understanding the social and environmental challenges of the 21st century, and reviewing options to transform lifestyles towards greater respect for planetary boundaries. Through an interdisciplinary approach involving experts from various fields such as law, philosophy, engineering, management, agronomy, economics, and medicine, learners will deepen their understanding of these critical issues, gain insights into the debates they spark, and develop a critical perspective on the tensions they involve.
No previous knowledge is required. However, the course targets students at the end of their undergraduate studies, employing academic languages and approaches from various disciplines, which some may find challenging.
This course is designed for students who are nearing the completion of their undergraduate studies, as well as professionals and others interested in gaining a deep understanding of sustainable development and transitioning towards it.
Participants will be able to use the knowledge and critical thinking skills learned to analyze and evaluate sustainability practices in various sectors, shape policies, participate in environmental advocacy, or contribute to sustainable initiatives in their communities.
