United Nations SDG 012 – Responsible Consumption and Production

This nanocourse will give you an understanding of the “materials economy” and you will have the opportunity to observe how a common value chain is analyzed. You will also be introduced to the five big Rs: Reduce, Reuse, Refuse, Rot and Recycle. These will help you identify strategies and best practices for more sustainable consumption.

Single nanocourses do not qualify for academic credit. However, enrolled students can add twelve nanocourses together, purchase a Nanocourse Credit Conversion option, pay the difference between the cost of the nanocourses and a regular trimester course at their degree level and submit a Final Creative Assignment for grading.
