Great course! I love how well organised it is, and how everything is (from assignments to course setup) explained. As someone who is new to the field, I found the material very accessible.

Very nicely structured the course by segregating into various departments like individual, organisation, city and policy wise. It really helped to look at the same problem differently.

Thank you, Lund University and Coursera! I have to truly master these subjects/courses and I should not be lazy about them. More to learn! Have to purchase the Certificate in due time.

A must course for every responsible and aware citizen. Great learning on how to opt for green choices in everyday life, avoid blind consumption, contribute to greener economic growth.

I found this course, like all the courses related to sustainable development proprosed by Lund university, very good. They encompass the entire subject, explore sufficiently the subjects - neither simplistic, nor too deeply for beginners.
Besides, a wide range of MOOCS are proposed by this university

Really great course!
I loved the way the course is organized- the whole idea of exploring sustainability on different levels (individual, business, city and nation). As you move from one module to the next, the material builds on each other. It's just organized really effectively, and helps the learner see not only the complexity of the issue, but also how sustainability can me addressed at every level of society.
Along with the lecture videos, this course has a "compendium" that is a bit like a textbook for the course. This, I thought, was a great idea. It made the material more accessible, because you can read over it to recap, or if you can't watch the videos. I also loved that the compendium had all these links and videos, which really enriched the learning experience for me. This is definitely something that other Coursera courses should try.
Finally, the assignments were a really nice way to explore how the ideas in the course have been applied around the world.
Overall, really fantastic course. Highly recommend to anyone interested in environmental sustainability, development and economics!

Привет!
Я Диас, из Казахстана (Центральная Азия). Больше 10 лет работаю в сфере разработки национальной политики по переходу к зеленой экономике. Так что эта тема мне очень близка. В ходе прохождения курса я систематизировал для себя знания, узнал что то новое. Полученные знания обязательно постараюсь применить на практике. В нашей стране я не видел таких крутых курсов как у Вас. Более того, Вам надо обязательно перевести курсы на русский и казахский языки. Я, хоть и не владею английским языком очень хорошо, но тем не менее, используя машинный перевод смог пройти курс до конца. :) Желаю Вам удачи и процветания!!!

Excellent course! The level is exactly on the meeting point of graspability for people of various backgrounds and expert knowledge. I really like the organisation of the course into five clear structured weeks/chapters which are further divided into recorded short lectures, interviews, readings, quiz and an assignment. The course compendium is a wonderful and very useful complement of the course, I would learn significantly less without it. Aside updates required by newly emerging data/knowledge in the area, I would not change anything about the course! Thank you for it!

Great content, supporting materials and 'external reference' articles covered in the Compendium too - to keep as a reference. Wk5 was the weakest in terms of the lectures - I believe because as the scale grows to the international level the actual attributes and specifics become less...'specific' and harder to actually communicate & articulate to the online learner. However, overall all - Excellent. I guess a 'refresh' is likely in the pipeline too - which I would enrol for too. Thanks to all who participated and created this course.

I thoroughly enjoyed this course and learned so many important factors about how developing a green economy works. The format of the course was broken down into chewable bites that were easily digestible despite the density of the content. I believe it was challenging yet doable. I would highly recommend the class to anyone who’s interested in improving their community, is involved in policy making, running a business or just interested in how to make the world a better place.

I loved it. It's a great and concise course that addresses several interdepedent topics in regards green economy, sustainability, circular economy and sustainable development. A must have compendium for any citizen of this world that wishes to understand where the world/politics/citizens/companies should be aiming towards, in order to become a better society, protect the environment and in turn, regain a better world to live in.

At first, I thought some views and methods could be ahead of conditions of my country. Because there is a significant difference in society behaviors and challenges. Whereas I understood more the lessons, I saw that there are brilliant and useful ideas and experiments for my city also. Some of them can be applicable and some of others of them are already doing. I'd like to thank to all teachers.

A great experience indeed! It was a bit difficult to manage both academics and my online learning but the lectures and assignments wee flexible enough and encouraged me to finish this course. Coming from India I was so fascinated by the scandinavian countries and I wanted to learn more about them. This course was truly the best and I so glad I was able to learn a lot of things from this course.

A very good course, building up the difficulty level by each week.
I was particularly impressed by Prof Thomas Lindhqvist. The other lecturers were good, too, but I had real difficulties understanding the accents (and words) of the Eastern European staff.
Taking this course was a real pleasure and I will enroll in the the University's next course on the "Circular Economy" very soon.

I love the quality of the videos in terms of content and the way it was packaged. It's very appealing and interesting. I love the materials and the interviews. It's very relevant and inspiring. There really are a lot of lessons to learn from Scandinavia in terms of greening the economy. Thank you for making this course available to learners all over the world.

My favorite course online this far (I have enrolled in 200+ and completed 50+ of them)! Great content, great instructors, fair and reasonable assignments. This course should be a must for everybody on this planet. I highly highly recommend it. I already loved Scandinavian countries, but now I also like Lund University a lot!

I enjoyed the course. The available teaching materials and presentations were very good and helped me better understand the sustainable concepts and initiatives carried out in the countries of Scandinavia and that can serve as examples for other countries, especially developing countries like Brazil.

A course is well structured and narrated by faculty staff. IMHO, a course can be even transformed in to specialisation, with multiple topical courses. Many thanks to all the lecturers, exciting readings and engaging assignments - it’s worth of it.
All the best to LUND university, Coursera and course learners.

Pude aprender muito sobre como construir uma economia sustentável, a partir de ensinamento vindo de países que são referências no assunto. Acredito que para construirmos uma sociedade mais limpa e igual devemos construir um pensamento sustentável como foi mostrado no curso!
