课程名称：使经济绿色化：来自斯堪的纳维亚的经验教训 课程概述：我们如何能在一个拥有超过七十亿人口的星球上过上美好的生活？本课程将从个人、企业、城市和国家四个层面探讨经济绿色化的概念。我们将研究这些层面之间的关系，并提供许多实际例子，以展示各层面之间的复杂性和解决方案。斯堪的纳维亚是推动可持续发展和应对气候变化的先锋地区，为学习经济绿色化提供了独特的起点。我们将学习自1970年代以来在斯堪的纳维亚尝试的许多倡议，这些经验对其他国家和背景都有潜在的借鉴意义。 国际工业环境经济学研究所（IIIEE）隶属于隆德大学，是一个国际可持续解决方案的卓越中心。IIIEE非常适合理解和解释绿色经济中的跨学科问题，并利用其国际团队丰富的学科背景提供相关知识。自1990年代以来，IIIEE一直在可持续性和绿色经济领域进行研究和教学，并建立了广泛的国际网络，与多种组织连接。 课程大纲： 1. 引言：什么是绿色经济，为什么重要？ - 本模块探讨绿色经济要解决的关键问题、概念和定义，并描述经济与环境间相互作用带来的问题，阐述绿色经济的目标，讨论相关的概念和指标。 2. 个人选择 - 本模块聚焦如何通过个人选择促进绿色经济的进步。研究消费模式、消费者行为驱动因素及其局限性，了解消费的影响测量方法（如碳足迹）。 3. 商业策略 - 本模块探讨企业如何选择有助于向绿色经济转型的策略，分享应对可持续性工作中复杂问题的解决方案和概念，并讨论企业在向绿色经济转型中的挑战和策略。 4. 可持续城市 - 本模块研究城市规划与设计如何助力绿色经济和可持续发展。了解城市在实验、规划、合作和提供绿色经济愿景中的作用，评估市级绿色经济指标及其国际适用性。 5. 国家政策 - 本模块讨论国家政府如何建立促进各层面（个人、商业、城市、国家）绿色经济的政策，评估国家级政策如何影响城市和个人，以及这些政策在其他背景下的适用性。 通过本课程的学习，学员将深入理解如何在不同层面推进经济绿色化，实现可持续发展。
Name:Introduction: what is a green economy and why is it important?
Description:We start the course by looking at the key issues that a green economy seeks to address and the underlying concepts and definitions of a greener economy. In this module, we will describe problems arising from the interaction of the economy and the environment; we will state some of the aims of greening the economy and look into the multitude of definitions; we will use tools to measure and assess a green economy; and we will discuss concepts and indicators related to the green economy.
Name:Individual choices
Description:Here in Module 2 we look at the individual level and how individual choices can help or hinder progress towards a green economy. This module offers an increased understanding of patterns and levels of consumption; we will look at the drivers and theories of consumer behaviour and the limitations of working with consumer choice in isolation (e.g. rebound effect); and develop an understanding of how to measure the impact of consumption (e.g. carbon footprint).
Name:Business strategies
Description:In the third module, we look at the business level, focusing on how companies and organisations choose strategies that can help transitions to a green economy. In this module, the aim is to understand the changes relevant to the business level for a greener economy. You will be presented to some solutions and concepts that companies use to deal with complex problems encountered in their sustainability work. We will discuss the challenges facing companies that want to take a lead in the transition to a greener economy, and reflect on strategies for green business in different contexts.
Name:Sustainable cities
Description:In Module 4, we look at how planning and designing cities can help achieve a green economy and underpin sustainable development. The aim this week is to understand the role of cities for experimentation, planning, collaboration and providing visions for a greener economy. We will use tools to measure and critically assess green economy indicators at the city level and discuss whether city level policies and actions in Scandinavia can work around the world.
Name:National policies
Description:Finally, in the fifth module, we look at how national governments can establish policies to promote green economy across the different levels (individual, business, city, national) discussed in this course. In this module, we discuss how national level policies affect cities, business, and individuals, as well as the challenges for national level policies to influence other levels, including the international sphere. Finally, we will discuss whether national policies from Scandinavia can work in other contexts
How can we live a good life on one planet with over seven billion people? This course will explore greening the economy on four levels – individual, business, city, and nation. We will look at the relationships between these levels and give many practical examples of the complexities and solutions across the levels. Scandinavia, a pioneering place advancing sustainability and combating climate change, is a unique starting point for learning about greening the economy. We will learn from many initiatives attempted in Scandinavia since the 1970s, which are all potentially helpful and useful for other countries and contexts. The International Institute for Industrial Environmental Economics (IIIEE) at Lund University is an international centre of excellence on strategies for sustainable solutions. The IIIEE is ideally suited to understand and explain the interdisciplinary issues in green economies utilising the diverse disciplinary backgrounds of its international staff. The IIIEE has been researching and teaching on sustainability and greener economies since the 1990s and it has extensive international networks connecting with a variety of organizations.
