ADVANCED ENVIRONMENT AND DEVELOPMENT IN DEVELOPING COUNTRIES

概要

Environment and Development of around 150 nations of the world that are considered as developing economies will be the focus of this lecture course. This course analyzes various issues related with these countries, where the sustainability of the environment is challenged as economic development is pursued. Can we find a harmonization model of environment and development to overcome the existing problematic models of economic development? The concept of sustainable and human development is an intelligent response towards questions of our contemporary beings. Human well-being and sustainability should therefore be integrated in all areas of our studies. Consequently, let us try to design new harmonization models of development and environment where present generations can enjoy a decent standard of living while making sure that future generations also have a safe planet Earth to make their dwelling. This course would enable student to understand the problems as well as paths of solutions like UNSDGs and Paris Accord (2015-2030) that are open to developing countries.
