Assessing and Reducing Society`s Environmental Footprint (ETH Zurich Summer School)
I would herewith like to make you aware of an exciting summer school opportunity that ETH Zurich’s Institute of Science, Technology and Policy (ISTP; www.istp.ethz.ch<http://www.istp.ethz.ch>) is offering via the IDEA League. We will be able to also accept a limited number (around 5-10) students, preferably PhD students, who are not from the IDEA League universities. This is why I am circulating this information here. The summer school will take place on 3 - 7 September 2018 in Filzbach, around 70 km to the east of Zurich (https://www.lihn.ch). As documented by and debated in many national and international fora, rich and poor countries alike are overconsuming natural resources on a massive scale, with rich countries tending to offload varying parts of their consumption-related ecological burdens on poorer countries (https://www.footprintnetwork.org/). The emphasis of this summer school will be on: (1) measuring and assessing the environmental footprint of countries, industries, firms, and people; (2) government/state-led measures for reducing the environmental footprint within and beyond the respective country; (3) firm- and industry-level measures to that end; and (4) voluntary consumer measures. The summer school will combine interactive teaching with team work, whose results the students will present on the fifth and final day of the summer school. There are no registration and accommodation fees. Students selected to participate in a summer school only have to pay for their own travel costs.
