The green economy is an economy that aims to reduce environmental risks and ecological scarcities, and that aims at sustainable development without degrading the environment. It is closely related to ecological economics, but has a more politically applied focus.

Stimulate the generation of jobs and income for the entire population, while taking measures to reduce greenhouse gases, increase energy efficiency (with the use of alternative and clean energy sources) and the sustainable use of natural resources.

Objectives

The course aims to train professionals from different areas of knowledge to work in current and future markets that require sustainable production and management actions.
At the end of the course, the student/professional will be prepared to implement new development practices on sustainable bases in both the public and private sectors. The student will be immersed in this new national and international market trend, which is increasingly demanding greater sustainability awareness from productive areas.

Target audience

Professionals, managers, entrepreneurs and scholars of the environment, agribusiness, companies, public and private organizations, who work, or would like to work, with a focus on sustainable development and learn about new forms of economy.

Differentials

  • The course has disciplines that cover everything from the history and core of sustainability to new forms of development that are promoted both nationally and internationally.
  • The subjects were divided into 3 modules, strategically designed to best develop learning. The course will begin with the historical and social aspects, where we will have leadership training subjects at the beginning, which will guide students on how to behave and how to take greater, sustainable advantage of the situations they are faced with, thus favoring a greater possibility of placement in the market.
  • In the second pillar of sustainability, the environmental one, items such as the carbon market and new trends in agricultural development will be addressed, in addition to more sustainable and productive ways of using natural resources. 
  • The third module deals with new development methodologies from an economic perspective, with practical actions such as environmental valuation, which can help municipal governments access resources such as ICMS-e, in addition to other public and private funds. New economies, such as circular, ecological and solidarity economies, are increasingly demanded by the international market, and can contribute to the development of small and medium-sized organizations, a market still lacking professionals.
  • To develop all the proposed actions, the teaching team includes masters and doctors, experienced and active in both the private and public sectors, as well as in the third sector. This plurality of activities will provide students with multiple perspectives on ways of acting, enabling them to re-enter the job market, valuing their knowledge.
