Abstract

Students put the measures they developed during the courses Tackling Environmental Problems I & II into practice, in collaboration with partners from civil society, the public and the private sector.

Objective

Students are able to put the measures they developed to address sustainability problems into practice.

Content

In Tackling Environmental Problems I & II, students analyze a sustainability topic, identify a specific problem within it, develop measures to address the problem and test the measures for feasibility by presenting them to concerned stakeholders. Some of the students develop their measures to such a degree, that the measures could actually be implemented. Tackling Environmental Problems III provides the opportunity to do so. Together with partners from civil society, the private and the public sector, students agree on the implementation plan, the financial and legal aspects and put the measure into practice.
