ИСТИНА

Since 2010 bachelor students at Lomonosov MSUBS are suggested to select the course “Global Limits of Economic Growth” (GLOEG). The course explores a wide range of adaptation and mitigation policies of international organizations, national governments and companies, their risk management capacity according to different types of natural resource limitations. GLOEG aims at enabling students to reconsider the synergy between the economic, social and environmental policies and can serve as a guide how to identify, prioritize, and correct approaches to sustainable development. For these purposes, students are invited to work with statistics on natural resources, to discuss business case studies and be critique to arguments used in official reports. In 2017 a new type of a task was introduced into the course in order to teach sustainability ideas more effectively: a Sustainable Change Project. The project is based on the idea of creating sustainability by students themselves in their everyday life and applying the ideas about effective resource management on different levels. Sustainable Change Projects prepared by students will be presented during Sustainability Week at Lomonosov MSUBS. The talk will provide results and challenges of this experiment giving insights into the change of students’ attitude towards it.
