The course Sustainable Development: Society and Environment covers environmental and sustainable development issues from several perspectives, so that in the role of KMA coordinator you can develop and implement measures to reduce a company's environmental impact. You work with global and national environmental issues such as the climate threat, resource extraction, energy use and the spread of chemicals, with a particular focus on the construction and industrial sectors. The course gives you the knowledge to develop an environmental policy and to carry out climate calculations and life cycle assessments (LCA), with practical exercises.
