Sustainable development is a multi-disciplinary topic and area of practice that has captured the attention of not only policy makers but also businesses, non-profit organizations, citizens, consumers, and lobby groups. Its importance has been marked by the 17 United Nations Sustainable Development Goals as a blueprint for all parties to strive for. These Goals resonate well with the trends in recent years where decision makers are not merely interested in projects, organizations, and investments that drive economic progress but also those that have sustainability impact to the environment and the society as a whole. This 360-degree view about development requires a new way of thinking about how managers of development projects, organizations, and ventures approach development opportunities and challenges, and the framework and tools that can be deployed to achieve these Goals. ?

This course aims to equip students -- as future leaders and managers of projects, organizations, and ventures that have a stake in sustainable development -- with a way of thinking, planning and managing sustainable development and development projects by drawing upon cutting-edge strategies and evidence. The course will be both analytical and practical and includes themes pertaining to "current issues" in development projects, organizations, and ventures, the different frameworks and tools (e.g., certification and standards, metrics, models) to make sense of and implement development in a sustainable manner, as well as emerging themes related to sustainable development such as circular economy and new technologies (e.g., blockchain). Case studies will be used to illustrate key concepts, examples, and best practices on the topic.
