Sustainability Challenges

Building on GEOG 10150 Introduction to sustainability, this module focuses on three selected sustainability challenges and explores them in more detail. The focal challenges are Energy and Climate, Future Cities and Water. Each will be analysed from the perspectives of each of the three dimensions of sustainability: environment, economy and society. They will be considered from the perspectives of individuals, communities, regions, nations and at a global scale. The emphasis will be on interdisciplinary approaches to developing strategies and solutions and the module will involve group work in interdisciplinary teams, drawing on input and guidance from a range of relevant experts.
