Course Contents
Overview
Overview of concept of Sustainability. Limits to growth. Interactions between State, Market,
Civil Society, Environment and Technology.
Emerging Science and Technology of sustainability: the innovative solutions and grand
challenges of moving this knowledge into action.

Energy generation and climate change

Climate change and global warming, different global initiatives towards mitigation.
Sustainability of Energy: Concept and Generation of sustainable energy systems. CO2
Emissions, Displacement and Deforestation due to Energy Plants and Hydel Dams, Water
Stress due to Energy Plants. Sustainable Transportation. Nuclear power and issues of
sustainability related to it.

Use of Natural resources, health, lifestyle

Sustainability with reference to use of land, water, forests, ocean, water bodies and other
natural resources. Sustainable approach to Health. Sustainable lifestyle.

Globalization and means to attain sustainability

Understanding Globalization from a perspective, of sustainable development. Technology
Transfer, Clean Development Mechanism, North South divide in the world, WTO, Kyoto
Protocol.

Conservation of material
Importance of material conservation for Sustainability. Engineering and design approaches to
mitigate material degradation mechanisms such as corrosion, wear, erosion etc.

Pedagogy

Learning through Case-Studies. Issue-based and Solution-based learning. Focus on

Exposure and Class Discussions rather than on academic lectures and PPTs.
Exposure to ground-reality around the issue, especially through interactions with
sustainability practitioners and thinkers, site visits.

Self-Learning through students group projects, working models, street play.

Literature survey, readings.
Class debates - The ultimate aim of the course is to provide its participants with an
opportunity to join in the ongoing discussion of the broader professional community on
how policy analysis and design can better support sustainable development. The course
may therefore be conducted as a seminar. Most class sessions may center on group or full
class discussions of the central question(s) listed for the day in the syllabus.
Writing Paper: Periodic writing assignments will provide participants with an opportunity
to consolidate their understanding of key issues, to articulate open or problematic
dimensions of those issues, and to receive feedback from their peers and teacher.

In the last 4 Items, emphasis should be given on developing habits of (a) use of simple 'backof-the-envelope' calculations and (b) searching/identifying upper/lower bounds in any issue.

Text Books
Popular level material to be used rather than academic, such as mentioned in the next section.
