How can we work towards a sustainable future? There are plenty of new sustainable technologies, smart governmental instruments and new ideas on organising the market, but we do not always embrace them. Why is that? What can we learn from successful examples of societal change in different countries? This programme focuses on the way contemporary society deals with its physical environment. We’ll look at experiences of countries all over the globe, at good and bad practises and at the role of markets and governments as well as society itself. You’ll become part of the quest for sustainability such as greening our economies and changing
daily behaviour. With the help from other disciplines like sociology, psychology, political science and administration, you’ll gain the complete picture.
