Globala förändringar - problem, analys, åtgärder

The objective is to study how society initiates solutions to the climate change, stratospheric ozone depletion and transboundary air pollutant problems based on a scientific understanding of the problems. After an introduction to the scientific background of the problems, the development of international agreement is studied. An important aspect is how scientific methods and discoveries are implemented in the agreements. The third part is devoted to the process of translating the agreements into national policies and to practical measures from all actors in society. Furthermore, the course also addresses policy making at EU, national, regional and local level.
