OVERALL THEME/BACKGROUND

The challenges of entering the Antropocene are complex. It is important to grasp the problem areas in order to provide sustainable, effective solutions. This involves understanding the nature of the issues, their interrelationships, the magnitudes and the major principles that govern our world. Once this has been established, it is then possible to propose a framework and possible solutions.

COURSE OBJECTIVES

The training course will make it possible to: Define the framework for understanding the Antropocene, that is, explore the major physical principles, the natural limits, that regulate our world and trace the demographic, economic, social, and environmental characteristics that explain the current state of the planet. Identify the nature of the challenges. Students will be asked to explore the physical and living resources that enable us to meet our needs, some of which are also endangered by our activities. Take a forward-looking approach to the future needs of humanity and review some of the theoretical models and institutional frameworks that can help design solutions.

TEACHING METHODS & ACTIVITIES

The MOOC is a self study course and relies on collective intelligence for jointly defining certain concepts and evaluating each other's work. The course will include quizzes, exercises to define the concepts and main principles, and group contextualization activities to help participants understand the topics. Many resources will be provided to further explore each chapter. They will be divided into two categories: Beginner/Intermediate mode and Expert mode.
