Inhalt: If we want to understand, analyse and effectively address mounting problems of environmental sustainability, we need to learn about how public and private actors can be systemically incentivised, coordinated or steered towards collective actions that benefit the environment and a sustainable development. We need to learn how environmental and sustainability governance “works”, and which leverage points exist in order to achieve environmental sustainability through public governance. In this seminar, we will get to know various governance approaches that can be applied to analyse and address certain sustainability-related problems at different scales, from local to international. We will discuss state-based public policy-making; governing the commons through local collective action; governance of global telecoupling; private and hybrid governance, international environmental regimes; participatory and collaborative governance; risk governance; evidence-informed governance; learning and adaptive governance, and multi-level and scale-adapted governance. How can we learn best about these various approaches and perspectives on environmental and sustainability governance? In past years, we have taught these approaches by drawing on scientific publications that inform or propagate a certain governance approach, coupled with empirical cases to illustrate how this approach plays out in practice. However, we found many of these papers, being academic publications and not teaching material, to rather narrowly focus on particular governance aspects, while disregarding the more holistic governance settings. With this seminar, we would like to move a step forward towards developing what exists for all established fields of study: a textbook. We invite you to join us in this project through a teaching experiment: While we will still be dealing with conceptual papers and empirical case studies, we plan to jointly develop ideas and initial contents for a potential future textbook on environmental and sustainability governance. We believe that when developing new teaching material, students’ perspectives and contributions are not only valuable, but key for this endeavour to be successful. In the first seminar sessions, we will give several lecture-esque introductions to environmental and sustainability governance, including specific governance approaches, and involving thorough discussions in class. In parallel, we will plan how a textbook on environmental and sustainability governance could look like, how the book and individual chapters should be structured, which contents and didactic elements should be included, etc. This is followed by a role-play called the “Melbourne Water Game”, where students collaborate in a real-world interdisciplinary decision-making case, illustrating the complexity of environmental and sustainability governance. In the remainder of the course, (teams of) students will lead topical sessions on individual governance approaches. These will be interspersed with occasional case analysis sessions where we will apply the approaches to current case studies. In the topical sessions, we will pay special attention to didactics, discussing how topics could be presented as a textbook chapter.

Globale Nachhaltigkeit - Vergleichende Länderanalysen (Seminar)

Dozent/in: Harald Heinrichs

Termin:
wöchentlich | Montag | 16:15 - 17:45 | 06.04.2021 - 09.07.2021 | Online-Veranstaltung

Inhalt: 193 Staaten haben sich im September 2015 auf die Agenda 2030 und damit auf die globalen Nachhaltigkeitsziele (SDG's) geeinigt. Da die Agenda nicht völkerrechtlich verbindlich ist, stellt sich die Frage, welche Bedeutung die Nationalstaaten der Agenda zukommen lassen und inwieweit sie sich tatsächlich auf den Weg zu einer nachhaltigen Entwicklung machen. Mittels vergleichender Länderanalyse sollen im Seminar ausgewählte Industrie-, Schwellen- und Entwicklungsländer untersucht werden. Neben der Nachhaltigkeitspolitik im engeren Sinne sollen dabei auch die gesellschaftlichen, wirtschaftlichen und politischen (Kontext-)Bedingungen betrachtet werden.

International and European Perspectives on Environmental and Energy Law (Seminar)

Dozent/in: Thomas Schomerus

Inhalt: Ausgewählte aktuelle Fragen des int. und eur. Umwelt- und Energierechts, insbes. Klima- und Ressourcenschutzrecht. Selected current questions of int. and EU-environmental and energy law, in particular climate change and resource protection law Das Seminar soll durch eine eintägige Exkursion nach Salzgitter zum Atom-Endlager Schacht Konrad bzw. zum Asse-Bergwerk ergänzt werden, sobald dies wieder möglich ist. As soon as this will be possible again, the seminar will be accompanied by a one-day excursion to Salzgitter, to the nuclear waste deposit Schacht Konrad or the Asse mine.
