Fairness and nature: When worlds collide
This course examines how people approach management of natural resources from different angles - some want to preserve nature for future generations, others value natural resources rather for their economical value. More diverse are the views more likely they result in conflicts. The policies should be not only environmentally and economically sound, but they should also take into the account social fairness.

Sustainability, society and you
Unlike the course described above, this course focuses purely on sustainability. What we think about sustainability, what issues we face today, what relation has sustainability to organisations, society and culture. The topics are supported by case studies and sustainability itself is examined from different perspectives, from economic, political, historical to business, learning or geographical or engineering and arts.
