Sobre este curso

Omitir Sobre este curso

The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) of the United Nations, which were adopted in 2015, will determine the course of the global social, ecological and economic agenda until 2030.

Information about the different SDGs is abundantly available but a comprehensive framework that brings them all together coherently is often lacking. This course provides a general and accessible academic introduction to SDGs in all its facets.

A highly interdisciplinary team of experts will offer their insight into the intricacies of the matter, while practitioners in the domain of the SDGs are closely engaged in the discussion.

Testimonios de los estudiantes

  • “What I liked most of all was that both the emergence of the SDGs and each goal were critically reflected upon. I especially liked the offer of supporting testimonials, which clarified practical issues.” - previous student
  • “I liked the interactive material. Breaking it up with videos and little finger exercises was really excellent and a great way to reflect critically on the goals without spending too much time and effort on each task (manageable for us with busy schedules!). The content addressed both criticisms, trade-offs, and synergies, giving a very realistic outlook on the SDGs and inspires us to think about how we can reform, adapt and continue making progress.” - previous student
  • “The course is very well-designed in term of contents and how lecturers analyze each goal and give examples.” - previous student
  • “This MOOC has given me the encouragement to take up more EdX courses!” - previous student
