Description
Pre-requisites: A basic knowledge of sustainability issues and an interest in governance.
This module examines the emergent monitoring and governance of life-cycle environmental impacts of products, services and organisations. It draws mainly on the field of environmental policy and governance, complemented with sustainability science, business studies, sociology, and geography. The empirical focus will be on corporate and product environmental and carbon footprints as well as on their nexus to sustainable forestry certification in the area of the built environment. We will also work out important links to the wider field of environmental and climate governance. You will learn about the dynamic interplay between government regulation, private sector activity and sustainability science and be challenged to explore opportunities for interventions with the potential for catalytic impacts towards more sustainable resource use.
