This perspective includes economic development, social development and protection of the natural environment. Building on this, the course looks at international agreements and co­operation concerning sustainable development and important organisations that are involved in these matters. How are sustainability policies and goals initiated and shaped? Which actors are important in these processes? Special attention is given to how these policies and goals are implemented at various levels of multilevel governance (as illustrated by the EU system) and the actors that are involved in these processes.
