Course Objective and Content

Course Objectives: Regardless of their field of study, it is aimed that students will be endorsed with a basic understanding of sustainable development aiming to keep in mind this understanding thorughout their programs.
Course Content: This course deals with the concept of Sustainable development, which is the organizing principle for meeting human development goals while simultaneously sustaining the ability of natural systems to provide the natural resources and ecosystem services based upon which the economy and society depend. Sustainable development differs from the notion of sustainability by adding in the ‘future’ factor. Although sustainable development is a huge topic with many subsections, the course aims to establish the ground for the understanding of the concept via the relevant terminology and an coverage of the global Sustainable Development Goals.

Learning Outcomes

The students who have succeeded in this course;
1) Define and explain the principles sustainable development.
2) Understand the basic terms regarding sustainable development.
3) Recognize and define the relevance of selected global issues and sustainable development
4) Define the scope and contents of UN sustainable development goals
5) Explain the current global status of the above-mentioned goals.
