EC/ES/PP 364 - Nantes Green Capital: A Model for Understanding the Green Economy

The aim of this course is to show how, over the last few years, territories have modified and created a new resilient local policy in response to the urgency of global climate change. The aim of the course is to put students in the position of having to choose a local environmental and ecological situation in order to propose solutions. The course will be based on concrete examples presented by students, visits and external speakers. Accompanied by the teacher, students will be encouraged to grasp a problem and carry out in-depth work to understand the complexity of the subject, situate it in the light of contemporary social and environmental challenges, and identify possible solutions.
