課程概述

To elucidate threats to sustainability, identify improvement opportunities, and to measure the progresses that have been made in a community or society, various kinds of indicators are developed. In this course, students will be guided through principles, concepts, strength, and key assumptions on which those indicators are constructed. Indicators covered would include both conventional environmental / social / economic indicators and relatively new indicators. For example,  environmental impact category indicators (global warming potential, acidification potential, eutrophication potential, human toxicity potential, photo-oxidants creation potential etc.), damage indicators (disability adjusted life years, DALYs), ecological footprint, water/carbon footprint, material input per service, poverty and crime rates, median income, unemployment rate, literacy rate, GDP growth rate, and some other integrated indicators proposed by international organizations such as Global Reporting Initiative (GRI).

教學目標

This course is to provide students with a theoretical and practical orientation to sustainability measurement, and further acquaint them with sustainability management approach.

Sustainability problems can be measured through indicators. It is beneficial to the problem resolution when understanding and having measurement knowledge and techniques.
