The occurrence of complex crises globally brought considerable impact on the progress in achieving the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in creating more resilient, peaceful, and equitable societies. At the center of these crises and stalled progress are various communities and populations confronting the consequences at present, and they will impact their future. This course invites students to examine this issue by addressing three key questions: (1) What are the current crises we face? (2) How can the human-centered approach address these crises and challenges? and (3) What are the ways to achieve the SDGs amidst these challenges? These questions will be addressed through combined lectures, workshops, and presentations. Students are expected to report (one A4 page) and present a country/region describing the crises confronted and the actions taken to achieve the SDGs.
