Cíle předmětu
The course introduces and analyses the concepts of green transition and decarbonization in the context of sustainable development/ Agenda 2030 along with its regulatory and policy framework, pathways, taxonomy, monitoring and reporting framework as well as financing at the global, regional, and national levels. Special attention will be given to the green transition in the European Union context. The course will then continue by looking more closely at the decarbonization of key sectors such as energy, industry and transport among others. This will be complemented by exploration of the concept of ‘just transition’ in the framework of ‘leaving no one behind’ principle. The ability to innovate and continuous change management has been recognized as one of the key aspects of successful implementation of green transition. The course will therefore explore the role of innovation and new technologies in green transition. Last part of the course will concentrate on executive aspects of green transition such as leadership, organizational management and change management, this will be illustrated on the examples from both public and private sector entities. The course puts particular emphasis on combining the understanding of overall concepts and their theoretical underpinnings with practical examples and hands-on experience from implementation of public polices and development initiatives.
Výstupy z učení
Upon successful completion of the course, the students will be able to i) demonstrate comprehensive understanding of genesis, theoretical underpinnings and aims of green transition and challenges of its practical implementation, ii) specifically illustrate this understanding through knowledge of decarbonization approaches in key climate-relevant sectors as well as of the concept of just transition. They will also iii) understand the role of innovation and new technology in promoting green transition as well as the motivation, leadership and organizational management aspects of green transition in the governments and private sector. As the course will use numerous real-life examples, the course learning will lead to building practical skills applicable in the development and public policy jobs related to green transition.

Výukové metody
The course consists of lectures combined with interactive class discussions and 2 conferences dedicated to the key topics of the course, special attention will be given to sharing and discussing practical case studies and examples from public sector and development field. The lectures and subsequent discussions aim at maximizing learning on practical application of acquired knowledge of various aspects of green transition and decarbonization in concrete, real-life public sector and development situations. Lectures serve as important introduction to the issues of the course, it is however assumed that additional part of subject matter knowledge will be acquired through self-studying of required and recommended literature. The course will also include a group research assignment/ practical case study linked to course subjects to be prepared by a group of students and presented during the last block of Conferences. This will represent an integral part of overall assessment and will be complemented by a written exam.
Metody hodnocení
During the course the students need to prepare and present one presentation on assigned topic as a result of group work as well as successfully complete the written exam.
Grading: 30 points will be awarded for presentation, 70 points for written exam, overall assessment with be as follows: 100-92 points = A, 91-84 points = B, 83-76 points = C, 75-68 points = D, 67-60 = E, less then 60 points = F (failed)
