9/2/2016 Launched: 3rd edition of MOOC Natural resources and sustainable development

Just launched is a third edition of the Massive Open Online Course (MOOC) ‘Ressources naturelles et développement durable’ by the Université catholique de Louvain.

The course addresses the link between the exploitation of natural resources (land, water, minerals, forests, etc.) and sustainable development and helps you understand the opportunities and challenges that the presence of natural resources offer, both at local and global level. By analyzing the socio-economic and ecological effects of the current rush these natural resources will help you understand the links between the agrarian crisis, the food crisis and the environmental crisis. Learning from specific case studies, your view on contemporary global dynamics will change.

The course will be taught in French. Duration of the course is 8 weeks, with a course load of 4-6 hours per week.
