Content
Deviating from traditional models of money and credit, this unit examines pathways for sustainable environmental practices. It links economic concepts to deal with the sustainable use of common-pool resources. The unit addresses the valuation of environmental and natural resources aligned with the UN (United Nations) sustainability goals and the development of environmental and financial sustainability concepts and practices with First Nations communities. This unit also examines how to design an environmentally sustainable supply chain. Case studies from various parts of the world and insights from practitioners will inform the concepts of environmentally sustainable decision making
