Sustainability management
Sustainability means satisfying the needs of the present in such a way that the opportunities of future generations are not restricted. The sustainability management competence module helps to distinguish which measures actually help to make our world sustainable and which only make us feel good but do not improve anything. It imparts knowledge and practice-orientated skills in the field of sustainability.

Sustainability Management I
The competence module Sustainability Management I looks at the promotion of the economic view of sustainability and its application in real political and economic contexts. The module begins with an introduction to the theoretical foundations of environmental economics and sustainability, with key concepts such as externalities, the basic model of environmental economics and the economic mechanisms for internalizing environmental costs. The game theory perspective is used to analyze the challenges of global coordination. One focus of the module is on the analysis and evaluation of current political measures to promote sustainability. A practice-oriented component of the module is a simulation game on climate negotiations. Here, students take on the roles of international negotiating parties and simulate real-life negotiation situations to solve global environmental problems.

Sustainability Management II
The competence module Sustainability Management II promotes an understanding of the 17 SDGs (Sustainable Development Goals) and their implementation in real contexts. The module is divided into a theoretical and a practical phase. In the theoretical phase, basic knowledge of the SDGs is taught. In the practical phase, students are allowed to apply what they have learned in a real context by making their own contribution to achieving the SDGs as part of a voluntary activity with a non-profit organisation.
