Bachelor Degree in Global Governance

Dear Students,

I just uploaded last week Lecture 3 with tomorrow's Lecture 4; apparently - for unknown reasons - I did not succeed last week, apologies to you.

Remember the suggested readings:

A) Anders Wijkman e Johan Rockström (2012), “Bankrupting Nature: Denying Our Planetary Boundaries. A Report to the Club of Rome”, Earthscan-Routledge [CH.1-3-5, they are short and easy reading]

B) Claude Henry, Johan Rockström, Nicholas Stern (eds.) (2020), "Standing up for a sustainable world", Elgar. (for students with more interest in sustainable development and projects). [Choose one chapter of interest]

D) Gianfranco Bologna (Nov. 2023, 2nd edition). "Noi siamo natura". Milano: Edizioni Ambiente. (for students with more interest in sustainability and science, who can read Italian).
