TOP REVIEWS FROM THE AGE OF SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT
I like a lot when in the tests you have to search in a graph, it really let you know where to search some informations and also to know how other countries are in that area or situation.
Great Course for anyone interested in sustainability and ESG understanding. Need next course on it post Covid as some SDG's and ESG needs a change in the way we looked at it 10 years back.
The course was very interesting and relevant but a lot of data is outdated, some links are not working or have been changed. I would advise to review the course according to the latest developments.
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.
