The course offers a substantial knowledge package on the concepts of sustainable development and sustainability and their ecological, social, economic and cultural dimensions, as well as the connections and tensions between the dimensions. The ethical viewpoint through the course provides a foundation for examining sustainability also as a political and normative concept. The course also emphasises the importance of agency and the different roles of an individual. A student gets the opportunity to examine the sustainability of their lifestyle from the perspective of their individual choices, but on the other hand, sustainability and climate challenges are also presented as structural and systemic problems. There are plenty of practical examples and cases that illustrate sustainability challenges and how to solve them. Student plans and performs assignment to study chosen theme from different perspectives of sustainability and reports the results in an essay.
