A law to save the world?

29 November - 31 January 2023, Faculty of Law

This course offers critical analysis of the sustainable development goals and the discourses and interests they serve. Material from a range of disciplines - history, politics, economics, and law is used for a better understanding of where Agenda 2030 is coming from and where the world it brings into being might be heading. The course focuses in particular on the relationship between sustainable development and our existing global legal order. It brings all three spheres of sustainable development - the economy, the environment and the social into focus. For each area, three different sets of questions are discussed: 1. Viability or futility of Incremental change, 2. Harmony between or conflicting goals, and 3. Alternative futures. The course is given at half speed during the course period.
