TOP REVIEWS FROM THE AGE OF SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT
This course have been very informative, engaging, practical and utmost importance for our future survival. I learnt a lot of important concepts regarding sustainability of our human race.
Super course very thought provoking and interesting. Certainly the content is bang on time wise. Really enjoyed it and Jeffrey Sachs passion for our world and it's people is infectious.
Excellent programme. Basic introduction of concepts like Gross Domestic Product and Purchasing Power Parity, presented in a relaxed way along with video footage.
Definitely worth your time.
Loved every part of this course. Really provided a good insight towards sustainable development. Prof Sachs is really great and gives a lot of useful information during the lecture videos.
