Moving beyond traditional economic models that prioritize short-term gains, the course focuses on the importance of incorporating social, environmental, and intergenerational equity considerations into project assessments. Designed for policymakers, financial analysts, and sustainability professionals, it challenges conventional discounting practices that often undervalue future generations’ needs.
