This course offers a beautiful journey for the learner to review the bilateral or collective relations between the SDGs and the efforts made at various levels to reach them in 2030, and the special thing about this course is the conversations that the lecturer had with the guests from the various disciplines to show the impact of the different contributions on achieving these goals
In my opinion, this course is necessary for all interested people in sustainable development.
And by virtue of my work in the field of sustainable development, we all have roles we must play and give a “push” to the efforts of our governments to achieve the sustainable development goals.

My name is Mokshith, a learner from India. To say in a word, the course is perfectly "Informative". It helps every aspirant, especially beginners, who want to know about the "science behind Climate Change" and every aspect about the UNSDG's. From, my own perspective, I myself is a beginner in this concept of Climate Change mitigation, and I always wanted to learn about the "science behind climate change" and about UNSDG's; and this course has given me 100% what I wanted.
No suggestions or remarks from my side except acknowledging this course organisers for giving me such a wonderful course to learn. Thank You all for your wonderful efforts.🙏

I got a lot of knowledge about 17 SDGs, and what is mean by the word Sustainable Development. I learned how we can measure progress and how the goals are interconnected. How the human activities are influencing the Earth at the planetary level and learned the concepts of Anthropocene and Planetary Boundaries. How it really focuses on monitoring and managing human impacts on climate and biodiversity as well as the potential consequences of failing to meet the goals of the SDGs relating to climate and biodiversity. Moreover I enjoyed every reading materials and the clips of the course and thanks for the wonderful course.

This course on SDG helped me to systematically refresh my understanding of SDGs and how progress can be measures. My overall course experience has been quite enjoyable.
This is because, the instructor (Kathrine) delivered the course in a structured and professional manner. The reading and reference materials on SDGs further helped to support the lectures too. The fact that the course was divided into 3 modules helped to make step wise progress in learning too.
By the way, to what extent Covid19 virus will impact (or complicate) on the implementation and progress of SDGs? Any thoughts on this?
Thank you.

I come from a biological sciences background (Microbiology, Biochemistry and Biotechnology) and it was refreshing to see the nexus between all these three disciplines and the environmental as well as economic aspects of sustainable development being captured clearly. I appreciate that it was all very easy to absorb. The content was very well demystified and distilled to the core topics/issues. The discussions were engaging and the additional resources were of excellent quality. l also loved the creative videos and the discussions with Oxford and Novozymes counterparts. So, very well put together!

The lectures were delivered excellently by Prof Katherine Richardson. The questions posed to various experts were apt and to the point. I am very much impressed by this course and learnt a lot about the sustainable development goals, interactions among them, the obstacles in the path of achieving SDGs, the role of various organisations like government, companies, NGOs, Civic Societies, etc. are well explained with appropriate examples. I thank Prof Katherine Richardson personally for her mesmerising lectures and I thank Coursera for the opportunity given to undergo this course.

The course is excellent. All modules, videos, documents are very informative. It gives a very good perspective on the SDGs, their current status and how they interact with each other. Quizzes are good and they make sure the topic is well understood.
This course gave me a Global perspective of how important it is to understand how humans impact different SDGs and where we are today. It also explains what measures need to be taken to make the environment sustainable not only to humans but to all living organisms and how it is essential for their survival.

This was a fantastic course with an interesting and organized approach to Sustainable Development Goals 2015 and Agenda 2030. The instructor was exceptionally knowledgeable, articulate, and authentic in her presentations. She showed clear passion for her work and the hard work of all her colleagues that she interviewed. There was an excellent balance of research readings, video interviews, and didactic knowledge taught. The puppet videos on Donut Economics were also a nice touch to show family and kids! Wonderful! I enjoyed the course.

It has been a great learning and enriching experience while going through the course. I would be more focused on Application of improved decision science for sustainable operations management. United Nations SDG 9 : Build resilient infrastructure, promote inclusive and sustainable industrialization and foster innovation, it is imperative to evolve Industry and Transport sectors to support achieving the targets set in this goal. Sustainable Operations Management would play an important role in this process.

I think this course has been extremely informative and it gives a real-world picture of the current scenario, in terms of wealth, economy, pollution-i.e in the perspective of global development. It is pertinent for each and every one of us to be informed about these facts,to ensure that we realize our duties as a global citizen and we contribute to sustainable development for our future as well as the future generations. Thoroughly enjoyed the videos and the reading material. Highly recommended!

This course really made me think about how our actions interfere in the world in general. The teacher explains everything in a very dinamic and nice way, it's like a conversation, actually. Each week, there is a new subject related to sustainability and each video has an interview with someone from the field and it makes it more interesting. I really recommend the course. Congratulations and thank you to coursera and the University of Copenhagen for giving me this huge opportunity.

A really important course for all parts of the society be it students or even CEOs of large multinational companies. There is an emergency going on in the world and action needs to be taken and with these SDG's a foundation has been laid with goals and objectives that have indicators which will keep on expanding as we go forward and all of us need to align with these goals for a sustainable future where there is complete equality and no one sleeps hungry.

Very well-made and interesting course. To be honest, I did not have really high expectations about this class. I thought it was going to be about "green growth" and how can economies can grow infinitely within a more "sustainable" framework. And thanks to the amazing teacher it was not. It was very critical how our economic system, and gave very inspiring insights about how can Human society evolve differently. Thank you for this course

This course is a must for anyone who wish to understand "Sustainable Development" and the buzz going around ESG. This course actually clarifies about each area where the policymakers need to look at. If you are part of SDG, business strategy group or stakeholder in any management, this course would give you the path to follow all 17 SDG's and guide how their interlinking can work. All the best for the fellow learners who are joining.

A very informative and "to the point" course. This course highlights the interdependency and the common goal of all 17 SDG's. I would recommend this course to anyone working in health care, education, agriculture, environment, energy, politics, economics...ok, everyone! It is so important to keep this bigger picture in mind, with all its factors, while we continue with our more specific mission, towards a common goal.
