This course offers theoretical and real-world insights into why and how globalisation can be used as a conduit for sustainable development.

Globalisation is associated not only with significant economic development opportunities but also with pressing environmental and social challenges.

Through readings, videos, discussions and interactive learning activities you will examine and critique the potential of globalisation to drive sustainable development.

You will also explore and reflect on the impact of the UN Sustainable Development Goals on current and future economic, environmental and social trends.

This is your opportunity to be part of a global learning community actively exploring and sharing the implications of a globalisation and sustainable development nexus.
