Cíle předmětu
It will be taught via daily face-to-face teaching in a block lasting one week. Please see the study materials of the course on the course website for a detailed time outline. The aim of the course is to present a basic overview of an emerging system of thinking known as Green Economics. Green Economics is focused on a search for solutions of the current environmental crisis in the shape of new economic approaches, tools and policies, which respect planetary limits and which have the explicit goal of a just and sustainable economy. At the end of the course, the student will be able to discuss the economic implications of global warming, have learned about the issues of land, work and food from a Green Economics perspective, and will be aware of functioning models of community ownership and of case studies of Green Economic ideas applied in a British context. The course will be interactive and the lecturer, in conjunction with the students, will attempt to link the presented ideas with the present and future in Brno and Moravia.
