Introducing SDSN.edu and free online educational courses

Wednesday, 24 September 2014

The Sustainable Development Solutions Network is proud to launch SDSN.edu, a new flagship educational initiative offering free online courses on sustainable development, created and brought to you by global experts from around the world.

Come join a global community of students to learn how you can make a difference. Sign up today for our inaugural courses.

To kick off this initiative, SDSN.edu will be offering Professor Jeffrey Sachs' course, ‘The Age of Sustainable Development’. The course provides a comprehensive introduction to the various dimensions of sustainable development and serves as the foundation course for the broader compendium of courses offered through SDSN.edu. There will also be a special bonus this Fall: all students that complete the course will receive the free e-book version of Professor Sachs' new book, titled ‘The Age of Sustainable Development’.

SDSN.edu also excited to announce ‘Climate Change Science & Negotiations’, a two-semester course introducing students to the science and policy environment surrounding climate change with a simulated negotiation in the second semester, in which students take on the role of country delegates. This course coincides with the broader SDSN Climate Change Call to Action in advance of the COP 21 negotiations in Paris in December 2015. Both courses are currently open for enrollment.

Additional courses are currently in development, and all SDSN.edu courses are offered free of charge.
