Review and reflect

Congratulations on completing Week 2.

This week we investigated past events contributing to the environmental issues of today and explored worldviews and visions of the future.

We examined the role of technology and progress towards sustainable development.

We used a case study of agriculture to critically analyse SDG 9 and then considered SDG 8, with a focus on the impact of technology on future work roles.

Reflection

You have now reached the end of this open course on sustainability and development. In the course, we have asked the question what is the relationship between people and the environment, particularly the negative impact of human activity on the planet, why this is important, and what we are trying to do about it?

It’s been a rich conversation with so many contributors from around the globe. Thank you for your participation and contribution.

Your task

We would love to hear in the comments about how this course has affected your understanding of sustainability and development.
