Lehrveranstaltungen
This course provides an introduction to environmental and sustainability governance. It offers basic knowledge on the functioning of governance systems in providing and implementing public policies addressing current environmental and sustainability issues – on local, national and international levels, with a focus on global environmental and sustainability issues and governance. We will address both the structure and process features of governance. Topics covered may include the governance of commons; participatory and collaborative governance; private and hybrid governance; adaptive governance and learning; multi-level governance; international regimes (e.g. climate, biodiversity); telecoupling. Students will learn the general core governance theories and concepts and apply them to emblematic case studies in the realm of environment and sustainable development.

The expansion of renewable energy, particularly large-scale infrastructure projects such as wind and solar farms and hydropower plants, as well as the extraction of minerals critical to the energy transition, is increasingly giving rise to land use conflicts and questions of democratic participation, legitimacy and justice, especially in contexts shaped by customary land rights and the traditional ways of life of indigenous communities. While such initiatives are legitimised at national and global levels as essential contributions to climate action (SDG 13) and energy security (SDG 7), they often conflict with the land rights, cultural practices, and right to self-determination of indigenous peoples (SDG 10, SDG 16). Existing planning and permitting processes frequently fail to protect these rights or enable meaningful participation in decisions that profoundly affect indigenous peoples' homelands and ways of life. At the same time, indigenous communities are increasingly recognized as key actors in sustainable development.
In this course, we examine these tensions through a philosophy of science lens, reflecting on how knowledge is produced, whose knowledge counts and what structural and communicative conditions enable or constrain meaningful indigenous participation. We reflect on what a just transition requires beyond technological solutions and under what epistemological and ethical conditions research in this field can be responsibly conducted. Drawing on cases of both conflicts and indigenous-led and indigenous-partnered renewable energy projects across different regional contexts, we develop and discuss research questions and designs and reflect on the epistemological and ethical implications of engaging with this field and consider what critically aware, justice-oriented research looks like in inter- and transdisciplinary contexts.
