El curso se compone de cuatro módulos. En el primer módulo veremos las raíces de la crisis ambiental, a partir de los factores históricos que la han generado, incluyendo la perspectiva científica, cultural, económica y política, asociadas desde la necesidad de dar respuesta a esa crisis desde la mirada de la sostenibilidad.
