The subject Sustainable Development is focused on introducing the basic principles of sustainability science and sustainable development strategies. In the course, the concept of planetary boundaries is explained to students and basic anthropogenic factors leading to their exceeding are introduced. Students will be acquainted with the basic methods of environmental analyses and the principles of interpretation of their results. Based on the methodological framework of sustainability science, students will be introduced to the individual Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs, UN). The main objective of teaching the subject Sustainable Development is to provide students with basic information about the principles of sustainability and the possibilities of their application not only in technological and economic practice. The secondary objectives of teaching the subject are to support students' critical thinking and to encourage them to discuss and reflect on socially relevant topics.

Hlavním cílem výuky předmětu Udržitelný rozvoj je poskytnout studentům základní informace o principech udržitelnosti a o možnostech jejich uplatňování nejen v technologické a hospodářské praxi. Vedlejšími cíli výuky předmětu je podporovat kritické myšlení studentů a vybízet je k diskusi a reflexi nad celospolečensky závažnými tématy. Last update: Kubová Petra (10.01.2023)
