The course scrutinizes the complexity of global change and transition issues through a geographical reading, combining research on climate change, the Anthropocene, spatial and energy issues, and their economic, financial, social, technical, environmental, democratic, and geopolitical aspects.
It allows students to be confronted with an eminent thinker (Chair Sporck), understand his/her reflexive approach to the issues of the European Green Deal and its transferability to other continents, and form their own opinion.
