    Description

    There is an increasing interest in understanding environmental impacts from a system perspective and in relating impacts of individual countries, organizations, etc., to global sustainability limits and goals. This enables an understanding of what it takes for countries, organizations, etc., to be considered sustainable in an absolute sense and not just “less unsustainable” than something else.
    This course introduces the concept of absolute sustainability assessment, gives important examples of its application to countries, companies and consumption patterns, and enables the participants to carry out partial absolute assessments in practice.
