Brief Description:
In moving towards global sustainability, we need to make a balanced approach toachieving environmental protection and economic and social development from a longterm perspective. While new technologies can contribute to producing economic growthand societal benefits, they could also pose potential risks to human health and theenvironment. It is critical to understand how innovation is created and implemented inour efforts for sustainability. We will then be able to discuss implications for public policy
and institutional design in influencing the behavior of relevant stakeholders involved ininnovation. This course examines the role of innovation in achieving sustainability.
Among the issues to be discussed include models of technological change, systems
approaches to innovation, intellectual property rights, research and development, and casestudies in various sectors concerning sustainability. The mechanisms of co-evolution oftechnology and institutions in facilitating innovation for sustainability are examined froma global perspective. This course aims to provide students with basic concepts andmethodologies for analyzing the mechanisms and processes of creating innovation andexamining feasible options for public policy in facilitating sustainability. An integrated
approach is explored in designing and implementing science, technology and innovation
policy and environmental and sustainability policy. Students learn how to use various
types of knowledge from an interdisciplinary perspective and to propose policy andinstitutional measures for addressing sustainability challenges.
