The MEG Program explicitly focuses on the tensions between environmental sustainability and development, as expressed for example in the UN Millennium Declaration between Development Goals 7 (‘Ensure environmental sustainability’) and 8 (‘Global development partnership’). Unique worldwide, its focus is on analysing ways of reconciling the manifold stakeholder interpretations of sustainable use of environmental resources and of facilitating the institutionalisation of context-effective environmental governance arrangements that combine market, state and civil society regulation modes across functional, sectoral and institutional boundaries for sustainable development.
Modules that address issues such as the one described in the exercise are, e.g. Sustainability and Governance, Managing Human Environment Interactions, or Integrated System Design.
