"How do universities tackle wicked sustainability challenges faced by society? The Wicked Learning Workbook is a toolkit for setting up and running an interdisciplinary master level course in the context of real-world problems such as food waste and loss. The book offers a new pedagogical approach that we call "wicked" because it is unorthodox, ambitious, and tackles complex problems that won't go away. The pedagogy is also international at the course level rather than the conventional exchange semester, enabling institutions to embed international approaches to their core teaching. The Wicked Learning Workbook speaks directly to academics who are looking for solutions that provide stimuli for research and teaching while giving students an innovative, international learning experience. The approach develops student understanding of the UN Sustainable Development Goals as broad-scale societal issues which are difficult, if not impossible, to 'solve'. An important outcome of this approach is the laboratory style classroom that creates opportunities for faculty, students, and companies to co-create solutions that are immediately implementable. The resulting methodology is based on industry-university collaboration (such as IKEA and Nestlé). The methodology is of interest to corporate leaders pursuing sustainability goals and business transformation. Achieving sustainability requires a cross-boundary, cross-disciplinary, experimental approaches that allow for scalability. Wicked problems can only be tackled with wicked solution approaches"--

Design as Politics confronts the inadequacy of contemporary politics to deal with unsustainability. Current 'solutions' to unsustainability are analysed as utterly insufficient for dealing with the problems but, further than this, the book questions the very ability of democracy to deliver a sustainable future.Design as Politics argues that finding solutions to this problem, of which climate change is only one part, demands original and radical thinking. Rather than reverting to failed political ideologies, the book proposes a post-democratic politics. In this, Design occupies a major role, not as it is but as it could be if transformed into a powerful agent of change, a force to create and extend freedom. The book does no less than position Design as a vital form of political action

Milieueconomie houdt zich bezig met de vervuilingsproblematiek of, meer algemeen, met voor het milieu hinderlijke activiteiten in de economie. Dit kan gaan om roken in publieke plaatsen of het lawaai van een motorfiets, maar ook om meer globale vraagstukken zoals de vervuiling van de zee of de opwarming van de atmosfeer. De nieuwe editie van dit handboek richt zich tot een publiek met een tweevoudige interesse: aan de ene kant het meewerken aan de beleidsvorming rond milieuproblemen en aan de andere kant het managementaspect, waarbij wordt nagegaan hoe bedrijven het best omgaan met het opgelegde milieubeleid. Het biedt meer oefeningen en brengt nieuwe topics aan bod zoals duurzame ontwikkeling en circulaire economie. De auteurs werken in 'Inleiding tot de milieueconomie' met drie eenvoudige economische modellen: het vraag-en-aanbod model met perfecte concurrentie, het model voor de keuze van de milieukwaliteit en het discounted cashflow. De modellen en de meest gebruikte milieubeleidsinstrumenten, in deze editie uitgebreid met o.a. onzekerheid en marktmacht, worden geïllustreerd met behulp van concrete toepassingen op, onder meer, het klimaatbeleid, het herbebossingsbeleid en de afvalwaterproblematiek.
