The main aim of the course is to provide conceptual frameworks for studying and evaluating the impact that social movements for sustainability can have on the public agenda and decision-making. The course is a seminar course, although it starts with a few lectures on the history and different theoretical perspectives on social movements, introducing the students to the relevant literature.

Kursen är en valbar kurs på tredje terminen av LUMES, Masterprogram i miljö- och hållbarhetsvetenskap, 120 högskolepoäng (Lund University International Master's Programme in Environmental Studies and Sustainability Science, 120 credits).The course constitutes a 3rd term elective (non-compulsory) course at LUMES, Lund University Master's Programme in Environmental Studies and Sustainability Science.

Kursen behandlar specifika metoder, tekniker och debatter kring åtgärder utformade att begränsa klimatförändringarna. Den bekantar studenten med tekniska, sociala och styrningsmässiga processer för att genomföra bland annat storskaliga tekniska lösningar för förnybar energi, industriella processer med låga koldioxidutsläpp, metoder för avskiljning och avlägsnande av koldioxid samt lösningar som röThe course covers specific methods, techniques and debates around measures designed to mitigate climate change. It familiarises the student with technical, social and governance processes to implement, among others, large-scale renewable energy technologies, low-carbon industrial processes, methods for carbon capture and removal, and demand-side solutions. The course provides students with an over

Syftet med kursen är att ge studenten en fördjupad förståelse för klimatanpassning och är centrerad kring begreppen risk, sårbarhet och rättvisa. Kursen presenterar och diskuterar olika lösningar till klimatanpassning och ger studenten en översikt över aktuella initiativ i förhållande till frågor om risker och potential samt olika gruppers relativa sårbarhet gentemot klimatförändringarnas påverkanThe aim of the course is to provide students with an in-depth understanding of climate change adaptation, centered around the concepts of risks, vulnerability and justice. The course presents and discusses various solutions for climate adaptation and gives students an overview of current initiatives in relation to questions of risk and opportunity, and the relative vulnerability of different group

Kursen behandlar samhällsomvandling som begrepp och som handling i relation till klimatförändringarna. Den knyter an till tidigare programkurser som rör begränsning (mitigation) och anpassning (adaptation) och introducerar processer och potential för mer grundläggande förändringar som ifrågasätter eller utmanar gränserna för nuvarande system. Kursämnena inkluderar frågan om vad som utgör samhällsoThe course deals with societal transformation as a concept and as action in relation to climate change. It links to previous programme courses on mitigation and adaptation and introduces processes and potential for more fundamental changes that question or challenge the limits of current systems. Topics covered include the question of what constitutes societal transformation as well as approaches

Kursen utforskar en rad metoder och verktyg för att förstå och agera på samhälleliga klimatutmaningar och syftar till att analysera konsekvenserna, utmaningarna och möjligheterna att tillämpa dem i praktiken.
