Intendierte Lernergebnisse

  • Gain familiarity with variety of human well-being theories, their measurements and implications for sustainability research;
  • Understanding of energy supply, from primary to services;
  • Alternatives to mainstream economic analysis of supply & demand to analyse supply chains, focusing on heterodox provisioning system approaches based in political economy;
