development and human rights. Sustainable development has emerged as the global norm and
dominant approach to reconcile the goals of economic development, environmental quality

include the right to life and liberty, freedom of opinion and expression, the right to work and
education, and many more. Everyone is entitled to these rights, without discrimination. The
course discusses the contested nature of these concepts and investigates how they are
combined in local, national, regional and international policymaking about environmental and
development challenges such as poverty, global inequalities, loss of biodiversity,
deterioration of global ecosystems, and the threat of climate change to human societies.
