In recent years the environment has re-emerged as a core development issue. It is widely accepted that development efforts could be undermined if environmental concerns are not adequately addressed. With eight international events, Debating Development 2011 explores the synergies and trade-offs inherent in trying to meet both environmental and developmental goals.
Debating Development is a public event and an accredited course (3 ECTS) for students of University of Antwerp. You can obtain a certificate of attendance if you obtain at least four debates.
