The Centre for Environment Education (CEE), India, offers a two-week course in Environment and Sustainable Development at CEE,
Ahmedabad, India, 10 - 23 January 2010.
The developing world faces critical challenges: rapid development, poverty, loss of biodiversity and the need to find alternatives to a carbon-based economy. Grassroots projects in India are finding effective ways of meeting these challenges. Innovative initiatives, whether in the area of generating rural livelihoods or meeting the challenge of urban public transport, are attempting to leapfrog the country's development to a more sustainable paradigm.
The two-week program provides cross-disciplinary understanding and practical experience of development approaches that deal effectively with these interconnected challenges under the guidance of a skilled and experienced faculty drawn from leading thinkers and practitioners in the area of sustainability.
The program is a stimulating mix of educational sessions, group work, lectures, excursions to natural and cultural heritage sites and field experiences of successful local sustainability initiatives. Students will select a project for their field work that strengthens their cross-cultural understanding of development for a sustainable future.
