课程内容
The course provides a critical analysis of the challenges for governing global environmental problems, such as climate change and biodiversity loss. The students in the course will learn how to analyze global public policies in different aspects with examples and cases from around the world. Innovations in public policy, governance, technologies and business management have been introduced to deal with global changes, such as depletion of the ozone layer, climate change and loss of biodiversity. However, who are the main political and economic actors shaping decisions? How are actions to counter global changes decided? How to build capacity and leadership in public and private organizations to deal with these changes? How do we evaluate strategies and projects in the area? In this course we will address these and other issues, in order to analyze and develop ideas and tools to work with global environmental issues in governments, private companies and civil society.
