课程名称：为可持续未来工作：概念与方法 课程概述：本课程为参与者介绍了可持续科学中与每个人相关的重要概念和观点，独立于个人的工作或兴趣领域。完成课程后，参与者将更好地理解当今使用的词汇，并能够批判性地反思，将环境、社会和经济可持续性的不同视角整合到自己感兴趣或研究的具体领域。整个课程与2030可持续发展议程相联系，这是我们当前实现可持续性的全球路线图，同时探讨了如何通过新的方法和解决方案来描述、理解和应对关键的可持续性挑战。简单来说，课程的整体目标是使参与者具备必要的知识和信心，以便利用课程中例证化的方法、概念和词汇，采用更全面的视角来呈现和讨论可持续发展议程的其他主题和学科。 课程分为五个模块： 第一模块介绍了可持续科学中的基本概念，以及描述、框架和交流可持续性方面的方法。探讨了诸如强可持续性与弱可持续性、韧性、临界点和行星边界等关键问题，并审视了设想替代未来与转型路径的一些技术。 第二模块专注于系统思维，探讨系统性方法如何在实现长期可持续性目标中应用。将介绍系统思维的概念以及如何在实践中运用系统思维和设计来寻找新解决方案。 第三模块讨论了可持续未来的驱动因素，包括经济与商业的联系，引入循环经济的概念，以及政策和监管框架。参与者将学习变革性政策框架的基本知识以及如何通过实际案例设计与应用这些框架。 第四模块探讨了创新与可持续性之间的联系，强调技术、社会、制度和金融创新的方法。通过一些实际案例，展示社会各界如何在实践中平衡社会、环境和经济可持续性所需的创新方法。 最后，第五模块提供了对如何利用模型创造不同情景的总体见解，这些情景帮助识别更可持续世界的解决方案和路径。主要涵盖三个维度：气候与气候变化、自然与生物多样性，以及数据和地理数据科学在空间规划和可持续土地使用中的重要性。 该课程由隆德大学提供，得到了四个外部贡献者的支持： - 瑞典隆德市 - DigIT Hub，致力于社会数字化的集群组织，位于瑞典隆德 - 瑞典社会创新论坛，覆盖5所大学的国家网络 - 可持续商业中心，位于瑞典马尔默，专注于智能可持续城市的集群组织。
Name:Key concepts to frame and communicate sustainability
Description:The first module presents essential concepts within sustainability science, and methods used to describe, frame and communicate aspects of sustainability. We look at key questions such as what we mean with strong or weak sustainability, resilience, tipping points and the notion of planetary boundaries. We also look at some techniques used of envisioning alternative futures and transitions pathways.
Name:Sustainability through a systems lens
Description:The second module is all about systems thinking and how systemic approaches are applied today to achieve long-term sustainability goals. Your will see what we mean with systems thinking and how systems thinking and design is applied in practice to find new solutions.
Name:Drivers for a sustainable future
Description:The third module touches upon drivers for a sustainable future, namely links to economy and businesses with an introduction to notions of a circular economy, and also policy and regulatory frameworks. Your will learn the basics of transformative policy frames and how they are designed and applied through a number of real-case examples.
Name:Innovation and Sustainability
Description:This module discusses the links between innovation and sustainability, highlighting approaches for technological, social, institutional and financial innovations. Some examples, or cases, aim to show how different actors across society balance in practice the need for innovative approaches for social, environmental and economic sustainability.
Name:Working with scenarios
Description:The fifth and last module provides general insights on how we work with models to create various scenarios that help us identify solutions and pathways for a more sustainable world. Three main dimensions are addressed namely climate and climate change, nature and biodiversity, and the importance of data and geodata science to support spatial planning and sustainable landuse.
In this course, participants are introduced to key notions and concepts evolving in sustainability science that are relevant to all, independent to one's work or field of interest. After having completed the course, participants will have a better understanding of the vocabulary used today and should demonstrate the ability to reflect critically to integrate different perspectives of environmental, social, and economic sustainability to their specific area of interest or research. Throughout the course, links are made to the Agenda 2030 for Sustainable Development, as our current global road map towards sustainability, and how new approaches and solutions are emerging to describe, understand and address key sustainability challenges. Put simply, the overall aim is to give participants the knowledge and confidence needed to present and discuss ideas with others by applying methods, concepts and the vocabulary exemplified in the course with a more holistic view on the sustainability agenda across topics and disciplines. The course is designed as 5 modules: The first module presents essential concepts within sustainability science, and methods used to describe, frame, and communicate aspects of sustainability.
