Introduction to Sustainability by University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign

Introduction to Sustainability offered by University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, one of the Online Courses to Learn Physical Science and Engineering, introduces the academic concept of sustainability and investigates how today's human cultures can adapt to global change, environmental deterioration, and resource scarcity. Population, ecosystems, global change, energy, agriculture, water, environmental economics and policy, ethics, and cultural history are all covered in this course.

This topic is crucial because it aims to unearth the principles that will ensure the long-term well-being of all peoples on the globe. This foundation requires intellectual breadth because sustainability is a cross-disciplinary field of study: understanding our motivations necessitates knowledge of the humanities, measuring the challenges of sustainability necessitates knowledge of the sciences (both natural and social), and building solutions necessitates technical insight into systems (such as provided by engineering, planning, and management).
