Absolute environmental sustainability assessment of production and consumption in a systems perspective (2026)
There is an increasing interest in understanding environmental impacts from a system perspective and in assessing impacts of individual countries, organizations, etc., in the context of global sustainability limits and goals. This enables an understanding of what it takes for countries, organizations, etc., to be considered sustainable in an absolute sense and not just “less unsustainable” than something else.
This course introduces the concept of absolute sustainability assessment, gives important examples of its application to, e.g., countries, companies and products, and enables the participants to carry out absolute assessments in practice. The course has a special focus on the participants´ self-defined case studies, thereby enabling them to incorporate absolute sustainability assessment in their own work.
