课程简介：可持续发展源于环境保护，现已成为世界上许多国家指导经济社会发展的总体战略。它是人类对环境问题认识提高后，在生产方式和消费方式上的巨大转变，也是人类发展战略的根本转折。1987年，世界环境与发展委员会出版《我们共同的未来》报告，将可持续发展定义为：“既能满足当代人的需要，又不对后代人满足其需要的能力构成危害的发展。”它系统阐述了可持续发展的思想。1992年6月，联合国在里约热内卢召开的“环境与发展大会”，通过了以可持续发展为核心的《里约环境与发展宣言》、《21世纪议程》等文件。《2030年可持续发展议程》于2016年1月1日正式启动。新议程呼吁各国现在就采取行动，为今后15年实现17项可持续发展目标而努力。可持续发展引论重点针对可持续发展概念及其由来、可持续发展的内涵、可持续发展的指标体系展开讲授，同时也分析中国在资源与环境方面面临的压力与挑战、可持续发展战略及实施，还讲授可持续发展的研究和发展前沿。课程注重培养学生的学习积极性，通过设置课堂讨论，引导学生进一步了解全球可持续发展体系、现状、问题、热点及其发展趋势，提高学生综合决策能力，更有效地促进国际环境问题的解决与绿色发展。
Sustainable development stems from environmental protection and has now become the overall strategy guiding economic and social development in many countries around the world. It is a huge shift in the way mankind produces and consumes as a result of increased awareness of environmental issues, and a fundamental shift in human development strategies. In 1987, the World Commission on Environment and Development published the report "Our Common Future", defining sustainable development as "development that meets the needs of the present without jeopardizing the ability of future generations to meet their needs." The United Nations Conference on Environment and Development, held in Rio de Janeiro in June 1992, adopted the Rio Declaration on Environment and Development, Agenda 21 and other documents with sustainable development at their core. The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development was officially launched on 1 January 2016.
This course will start with the concept, origins, connotations and indicators of sustainable development. Subsequently, this course will introduce the pressures and challenges faced by China in terms of resources and the environment, as well as sustainable development strategies and implementation, then introduce the latest research and development frontiers. Through classroom discussions, students are guided to further understand the global sustainable development system, its status, issues, hotspots and its development trends, and to improve their comprehensive decision-making skills with a view to better solve international environmental issues and promote green development.
