Environmental Growth and Sustainability II: Introduction

This lecture introduces the second semester course on environmental growth and sustainability, focusing on two models for student projects: one centered on creating a vision for a sustainable world and the other on addressing current environmental issues. Students will work in groups to develop a scientific report and presentation based on their chosen model. Examples of potential topics include sustainable development goals, resource preservation, and poverty alleviation. The course emphasizes the transition from vision to action, strategic planning, and the analysis of assets and challenges. Various real-world case studies are presented to illustrate the practical application of sustainable development concepts.
