Sustainable Development seeks to reconcile the economic, social, and environmental problems we face in a world with constrained resources. To have a broader perspective of what sustainability means, we examine problems through an interdisciplinary lens and investigate how these issues form and possible policy solutions.

Expanded Course Description
Sustainable Development seeks to reconcile the economic, social, and environmental problems we face in a world with constrained resources. In this class, we discuss the policies currently being used to address urgent problems associated with sustainable development on an international scale and how they're being implemented. We view these issues through an interdisciplinary lens by drawing primarily on principles from environmental science and economics. Students will leave the class with a deeper understanding of sustainable development and the challenges to achieving these goals.
