课程名称：超越可持续发展目标（SDGs）：应对可持续性和发展 课程概述：欢迎来到课程“超越可持续发展目标（SDGs）：应对可持续性和发展”！该课程是可持续性与发展硕士课程证书的第一门课程，您也可以将其作为单独的学习机会。可持续性和发展面临着前所未有的挑战，随着人类社会的增长，我们需要确保未来的福祉和繁荣。在本课程中，我们将专注于应对可持续性和发展这两个双重挑战，提供可操作的知识以创新解决全球最紧迫的问题，如气候变化、贫困与不平等以及生物多样性丧失和生态系统退化。 我们将可持续性与发展视为平等的研究与行动领域，探讨自然、社会与应用科学及人文学科之间的联系。本课程将深入研究可持续性与发展之间的取舍、共同利益与协同效应。 在本课程中，您将了解可持续性与发展的理论发展，对联合国的17项可持续发展目标（SDGs）有深入理解。我们也将探讨设计创新解决方案所需的方法与技能，重点关注可持续科学这一新兴领域。 课程将深入探讨可持续发展目标下的三大紧迫挑战：气候变化、贫困与不平等以及生态系统退化和生物多样性丧失，并通过案例研究激发我们的思考。在最后一周，我们将讨论这些挑战之间的取舍、共同利益与协同效应，特别是如何设计创新解决方案，以实现我们的可持续发展目标。 到课程结束时，您将能够： 1. 理解并解释全球最紧迫的问题，特别关注贫困与不平等、生态系统退化和生物多样性丧失以及气候变化。 2. 批判性分析可持续发展目标（SDGs）及其与世界最紧迫问题的关系。 3. 使用必要的框架和证据来开发解决方案。 4. 评估有助于实现可持续发展目标的相关解决方案，同时解决紧迫问题。 5. 应用所学技能以实施解决方案。 课程大纲： 1. 课程介绍：学习“可持续发展”、“可持续性”及“发展”之间的细微差别，以及可持续发展目标的历史与范围。 2. 气候变化：了解气候变化的不同方式，以及不同人群如何与为何受到不成比例影响。 3. 贫困与不平等：学习全球贫困与不平等的历史背景、缓解贫困与不平等的不同方法，以及以可持续方式减少贫困与不平等的机会。 4. 生物多样性丧失与生态系统退化：学习环境变化的原因、驱动因素和影响，以及如何在人与野生动物之间共享生态系统，同时防止环境退化。 5. 取舍与协同效应：学习可持续科学如何应用于可持续性与发展，探讨人类社会的过渡及其对可持续过渡的启示，并提升可持续解决方案以获得更好的结果。
Name:Introductions to the Course
Description:In this module you can expect to learn about the nuances between the terms 'sustainable development' and 'sustainability' AND 'development', as well as the history and scope of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
Name:Climate Change
Description:In this week, you can expect to learn about the different ways in which the climate is changing, and how and why different populations are disproportionately impacted by those changes.
Name:Poverty and Inequality
Description:In this module you can expect to learn about the historical background on poverty and inequality around the world, different approaches to alleviate poverty and inequality, and opportunities for reducing poverty and inequality in a sustainable manner.
Name:Biodiversity Loss and Ecosystem Degradation
Description:In this module, you can expect to learn about why environmental changes happen, what the drivers and impacts of these changes are, and how to share ecosystems between people and wildlife while preventing environmental degradation.
Name:Trade Offs and Synergies
Description:In this module, you can expect to learn about sustainability science and how it applies to sustainability and development, transitions in human societies and how those lessons learned apply to sustainability transitions, and how you can improve sustainability solutions for better outcomes.
We’re excited you’re here! This course, “Beyond the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs): Addressing Sustainability and Development,” is the first course in the Sustainability and Development MasterTrack® Certificate, but you can also take this course as a stand-alone learning opportunity. Sustainability and development pose unprecedented challenges as human societies grow and seek to ensure future wellbeing and prosperity. In this course, we’ll focus on addressing the twin challenges of sustainability and development with actionable knowledge for innovating solutions to the world’s most pressing problems like climate change, poverty and inequality, and biodiversity loss and ecosystem degradation. Rather than sustainability being a qualifier for development (e.g. sustainable development), we conceptualize Sustainability and Development as co-equal fields of inquiry and action that seek to build bridges between the natural, social and applied sciences and the humanities. When sustainability and development are placed on an equal footing, it requires us to think more explicitly about the trade-offs, co-benefits and synergies between them, which we will be exploring in depth in each week. Throughout the course, you will be introduced to the theoretical currents in Sustainability and Development, and will garner an in-depth understanding of the United Nations’ 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). We will also consider the methods and skills necessary for designing innovative solutions to sustainability and development problems through the emerging field of Sustainability Science. In this course, we will explore three of the most pressing challenges undergirding the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) including climate change, poverty and inequality, and ecosystem degradation and biodiversity loss, with case studies to guide and challenge our thinking. In the final week of the course, we will discuss the trade-offs, co-benefits and synergies between these challenges, especially as they relate to designing innovative solutions for achieving our sustainability and development goals. By the end of this course, you will be able to: 1. Understand and explain the world’s most pressing problems with a specific focus on poverty & inequality, ecosystem degradation and biodiversity loss, and climate change. 2. Critically analyze the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and their relationship to the world’s most pressing problems. 3. Use frameworks and evidence necessary to develop solutions. 4. Assess relevant solutions that would help realize the SDGs and at the same time solve the pressing problems. 5. Apply skills learned to implement solutions.
