COURSE INFORMATION: Sustainability is a transdisciplinary area integrating equitable societies, protected environments, and robust economies. Achieving sustainability is a challenge that to date has had limited success in our complex world. Complexity studies offer new approaches for achieving sustainability beyond the traditional ones that have been mostly focused upon reducing unsustainability such as reducing resource use and embracing the machine model as a worldview. The course takes an international and particularly developing world approach to human development.Ìý
