Policymaking for climate action and circular economy: Project course

In the wake of the acceleration of the ongoing sustainability transitions, in response to challenges such as climate change and the energy crisis, environmental policy is becoming more extensive, complex, and stringent. The purpose of this course is to provide participants with practical application in the analysis of environmental policy instruments and tools to create favorable conditions to skillfully navigate them in their own profession or future work and life. The course is offered as an independent, in-depth project linked to the course FSC005 - "Policymaking for Climate Action and Circular Economy". The project offers an opportunity to examine, for example, taxes, subsidies, and emission rights, as well as existing policy frameworks and policy processes - including Sweden's climate policy or the EU's Fit for 55. The course is intended to help you understand and navigate environmental policy instruments in your own practice and future work (e.g., identifying business opportunities or ways to effectively address environmental challenges). (The course is taught in English)
