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:
“This teaching is not practical in the sense in which the New Testament is. It is not always sound sense in practice. The Brahman never proposes courageously to assault evil, but patiently to starve it out. His active faculties are paralyzed by the idea of caste, of impassable limits of destiny and the tyranny of time.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“It is the very error of the moon,
She comes more near the earth than she was wont,
And makes men mad.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“I candidly confess that I have ever looked on Cuba as the most interesting addition which could ever be made to our system of States. The control which, with Florida, this island would give us over the Gulf of Mexico, and the countries and isthmus bordering on it, as well as all those whose waters flow into it, would fill up the measure of our political well-being.”
—Thomas Jefferson (1743–1826)
“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)
