TOP REVIEWS FROM THE AGE OF SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT
I am working in low middle income country as an expat environmental engineer. This course has helped me to understand relations between institutions and set up better relations with them.
I learnt the true meaning of sustainable development across the 3 dimensions of People, Planet and Profit. Highly enriching and insightful. Kudos to Prof Sachs to make the course so engaging.
Super course very thought provoking and interesting. Certainly the content is bang on time wise. Really enjoyed it and Jeffrey Sachs passion for our world and it's people is infectious.
Excellent programme. Basic introduction of concepts like Gross Domestic Product and Purchasing Power Parity, presented in a relaxed way along with video footage.
Definitely worth your time.
