| Mål |
| The students should acquire an understanding of the intricate links between climate change, energy utilisation, recycling and other key concepts in sustainable development. This should enable the students to discuss these links from different perspectives with the aim to critically examine their claimed impact on society. |
| Kursinnehåll |
The course will give the students basic understanding of the climate system, how humans may contribute to a changing climate through the export of greenhouse gases to the atmosphere, but also to give viable options to mitigate these effects. Bioenergy technologies will be emphasised e.g. by the use of biomass derived energy and a means of recycling of waste products. The students will attain basic knowledge of the natural processes used in biotechnology to meet the demand on bioenergy availability. The students will also study how climate change affects nature and society, and potential consequences of options for mitigation or adaptation to climate change, e.g. the impact on soil and land use resulting from a conversion to bioenergy-based fuels leading to altered production in agriculture and forestry.
At the end of the course the students should have ability to
Knowledge and understanding
* identify and describe current issues related to climate, bioenergy and recycling
* understand how processes in nature and society affects the climate
Theoretical and practical competence
* apply key concepts for advanced analysis in the areas of climate, bioenergy and recycling and apply them to viable solutions
* competently communicate both orally and in text regarding climate, bioenergy and recycling issues
Critical assessment approaches
* critically and scientifically assess problems related to climate, bioenergy and recycling by evaluating current scientific work |
