Governing Transformation to Sustainability (Seminar)

Dozent/in: Jens Newig

Termin:
 wöchentlich | Donnerstag | 10:15 - 11:45 | 06.04.2026 - 10.07.2026 | C 12.112 Seminarraum

Inhalt: This seminar will explore the governance mechanisms that drive sustainability transformations – intended and relatively deep societal changes that significantly improve sustainability in one or more areas. Prominent examples are the ongoing energy transition; transformations of production and consumption patterns; or in (global) agri-food-chains. We will discuss theoretical frameworks, key governance actors, multi-level governance structures, and review empirical evidence, such as through real-world case studies. The seminar will engage students in critical reflections on the roles of government, civil society, and the private sector in achieving sustainable development goals (SDGs).
