About the course

In this course, we explore the concept of sustainability and how we can create sustainable cultures in our complex world. Sustainability challenges resist disciplinary categories and simple solutions. This course provides an introduction to real-world, complex sustainability challenges through literature drawn from natural and social sciences and the humanities, interdisciplinary theory, and insights into cases of sustainability issues around the world.

The course is suitable to study along with the project-based course A Sustainable Future: Transdisciplinary Practices, which runs concurrently, to get the opportunity to work with theory and practice in tandem. The courses can be applied together as the course package A Sustainable Future, 30 credits.
