Environmental assessments of planetary crises

The course teaches advanced knowledge and skills in methodologies used for environmental assessments of threeplanetary crises (i.e. pollution, climate change, and biodiversity loss). The course also deals with the public authorities and policy instruments that shape the monitoring, regulations, and management actions associated with these planetary crises. The 7.5 credit course consists of about 4.5 weeks of full-time studies and is divided into two parts: theory (4 credits) and practical work (3.5 credits). The course is given in the form of lectures, computer exercises, and group work with subsequent seminar discussions. The teaching is conducted in the form of i) lectures, which are not compulsory but will provide the theoretical basis for the computer exercises and the final examination; ii) practical work in groups, including data mining, data analysis, literature work, risk and impact assessment, including written and oral presentations of the practical work and results – compulsory work.
