In collaboration with David Thorpe, director of the One Planet Centre, the University of Wales Trinity Saint David (UWTSD) is offering a new Post-Graduate Certificate in \u2018One Planet\u2019 Governance.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The ‘One Planet’ Governance programme \u2013 the first of its kind in the world \u2013 is a post-graduate award that will provide a continual professional development opportunity for those interested in sustainable political, civic and public governance, administration and policymaking.<\/p>\n

As part of the programme, students study ethical and sustainable approaches to political leadership and administration, preparing them for the changing nature and role of politics and governance in the 21st century.<\/p>\n

\u201cWith governments and many councils declaring climate and extinction emergencies, administrators and policymakers are wondering how to react,\u201d says David Thorpe, director of the One Planet Centre, sustainability consultant and one of the course tutors.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis short, distance learning, postgraduate course is offered to provide many answers. Participants will combine their own work with a fully online experience, engaging in collaborative learning with students from around the world. They will come to understand the interrelated challenges facing them, and research their own specialisms as a practical case study,\u201d adds David.<\/p>\n

Virtual Learning Environment<\/h3>\n

The programme is delivered through UWTSD\u2019s online Virtual Learning Environment, where students have access to all key learning activities, resources and learning groups using the latest interactive communications tools and applications.<\/p>\n

During the course, students learn about many examples of successful solutions around the world, including zero carbon buildings, resource efficiency, local resilience, job creation, health promotion, and the circular economy.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re delighted to be offering the new \u2018One Planet\u2019 Governance Post-graduate Certificate as part of our provision at UWTSD,\u201d says Dr Louise Emanuel, Academic Director within UWTSD\u2019s Institute of Management and Health.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur programmes have sustainable and ethical thinking at their core and this course examines the nature of the long-term, strategic, ecological and social challenges facing the planet, and the fundamentally different new strategies and tools currently available and being developed to meet these challenges.\u201d<\/p>\n

Well-being of Future Generations Act<\/h3>\n

Dr Alex Bell, Online Masters Programme Manager at UWTSD\u2019s Institute of Management and Health adds: \u201cAs a special feature of the course, students undertake an in-depth study of the implementation and efficacy of the ground-breaking Welsh legislation, the Well-being of Future Generations Act.<\/p>\n

“They will come to understand the interrelated challenges facing humanity, and life in general, on Earth, in relation to the planetary boundaries. They will then critically examine the tools, standards and methodologies implemented by different administrations around the world, across different sectors, in relation to the Sustainable Development Goals and ecological foot printing.\u201d<\/p>\n
