As a result, you learn to recognize its ecological, social, economic and cultural dimensions. • Every dimension is an essential part of sustainable development, even if there is conflict between them. You cannot solve sustainability crises alone, but there are ways to help. • You need multidisciplinary cooperation and problem-solving skills to tackle the various problems related to sustainable development, such as climate change. • During the course, you get to tap into the significance of individual agency and global responsibility as well as the need for comprehensive transformation.
