This course was perfect for those wanting to explore the world of development, broad enough to include all interlinked themes, with sufficient reading materials to spark one's specializing interests.

Very informative and detailed. Prof. Sachs covers all aspects of sustainable development in detail. Though the course was designed in 2013 hence does not cover the latest development to SDGs to date.

Some of the material is dated! Lots of developments have happened since SDGs, Glasow Conference 2022, Covid, etc,

Amazing course! The only detail to improve is reviewing links and datas that are too old or don't open anymore.
