TOP REVIEWS FROM THE AGE OF SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT
I am working in low middle income country as an expat environmental engineer. This course has helped me to understand relations between institutions and set up better relations with them.
Great content and Dr Sachs a great lecturer. Some questions on tests need updating as websites used for course materials have more up-to-date data that is not always reflected in the questions.
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.
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.
