This course introduces students to the origins, issues and processes of sustainable development (SD). It examines the current global and national issues and debates surrounding SD. It involves the students in the analysis of the problems including anthropogenic climate change in the current context. This course also critically addresses other relevant SD issues including scarcity of resources, natural disaster, food insecurity, and energy crisis. After these, the course will discuss some alternative ways (those are possibly, more sustainable) to introduce the basis of the different perceptions of sustainable development.
