Teaching Earth System Governance
Earth system governance as a research object is quickly emerging, and as a consequence, the number of academic programmes on bachelor, master and doctoral level related to earth system governance steadily increases. A number of institutes and universities currently collaborate in a Global Alliance of Earth System Governance Research Centres. The educational programmes these universities offer, include, but are not limited to:
- Ecosystems, Resilience and Governance, University of Stockholm and Stockholm Resilience Centre, Sweden
- Environmental Studies and Sustainability Science, LUMES, International Master’s Programme, Lund University, Sweden
- Global Environmental Governance, Specialization track in MSc Political Science, VU University Amsterdam, The Netherlands
- Lund University Centre of Excellence for Integration of Social and Natural Dimensions of Sustainability, LUCID, Research School, Lund University, Sweden
- Sustainability Economics and Management, MSc Programme, University of Oldenburg, Germany
- Environmental Governance related Programmes, MA, MSc, and PhD Programmes, Colorado State University, United States of America
- Environment and Development Programmes, MSc, MRes, and MBA Programmes, University of East Anglia, United Kingdom
A substantial amount of the workshops and other events of the project are so called capacity-building activities.

Famous quotes containing the words teaching, earth, system and/or governance:
“I have come to believe ... that the stage may do more than teach, that much of our current moral instruction will not endure the test of being cast into a lifelike mold, and when presented in dramatic form will reveal itself as platitudinous and effete. That which may have sounded like righteous teaching when it was remote and wordy will be challenged afresh when it is obliged to simulate life itself.”
—Jane Addams (1860–1935)
““... You could sit there with the stains on your shoes
Of the fresh earth from your own baby’s grave
And talk about your everyday concerns.
You had stood the spade up against the wall
Outside there in the entry, for I saw it.””
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
“Nothing is so well calculated to produce a death-like torpor in the country as an extended system of taxation and a great national debt.”
—William Cobbett (1762–1835)
“He yaf me al the bridel in myn hand,
To han the governance of hous and land,
And of his tonge and his hand also;”
—Geoffrey Chaucer (1340?–1400)
