Comment/Description

This seminar introduces the key concepts, theories, and current debates surrounding sustainable development, considering recent reflections and actions related to environmental and climate justice. In the first part of the seminar, we will study the emergence of the sustainable development paradigm by examining its key definitions and regulatory documents. We will then explore various approaches to climate justice. This discussion will lead us to consider two significant critical approaches to development: post-development and alternatives to development. We will also explore complementary approaches to sustainable development based on feminist, anti-racist, and decolonial perspectives. The seminar concludes with a discussion of three case studies, enabling us to explore environmental conflicts related to extractivism, biodiversity loss, and air and water pollution in more depth, along with their implications for sustainable development theories and practices.
