Course Description:
This course introduces the topic of religion and sustainable
development. Since 2015 the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) have
become the umbrella to address key challenges of our times, for example
climate change, poverty, inequality, health and migration. In many of
these challenges religion plays, or can play, a significant role, e.g.
health care in Africa, the worldviews people live by or concepts of hope
thematized in religious traditions. This course explores this kind of
interactions between religion and SDGs. The SDGs are categorized in the
sub-themes planet, people, prosperity and partnership. Special attention
is given to religion and planet. The course is interdisciplinary and societal
partners are involved, e.g. religious grassroots communities, faith-based organisations, religious institutions, businesses and governments.
