The essence of this course is to learn the basic concepts and principles of sustainability science, and how sustainability is or can be integrated into business. On the one hand, environmental challenges including climate, waste, energy, agriculture, and biodiversity, as well as their drivers will be touched upon. The course then explores how environmental problems are closely related to social aspects. Thereafter, the integration of sustainability in business will be analyzed. Various approaches and tools that companies can use to integrate sustainability in their business practices, such as circular economy principles and design thinking, will be discussed.
