课程概述

Ecosystem services are a way of thinking about – and evaluating – the goods and services provided by nature that contribute to the well-being of humans. This MOOC will cover scientific (technical), economic, and socio-political dimensions of the concept through a mix of theory, case-studies, interviews with specialists and a serious-game. By the end of this course, our aim is to enable you to: • define the concept of ecosystem services, its principles and limitations • understand the key services associated with any ressource (e.g., fresh water) through readings and case-studies • appreciate the advantages and potential risks of monetising ecosystem services • appreciate the social dimensions (power issues, cultural biases) embedded within any method • integrate tactical advice on mainstreaming this approach into policy and standard government practices • Optional: learn how to map ecosystem services with GIS tools The session that runs May 29th- July 10th will be actively monitored by the instructors, and learners will have the opportunity to ask questions. This course was developed by instructors from the University of Geneva with the help of numerous researchers and input from the Geneva Water Hub and the Natural Capital Project. The course was financed by the University of Geneva, the Global Programme Water Initiatives of the Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation (SDC), and the Luc Hoffmann Institute. This MOOC is supported by the Geneva Water Hub and the University of Geneva along with the MOOC in « Water Resources Management and Policy » (hua.dididi.sbs/learn/water-management) and the one in « International Water Law » (hua.dididi.sbs/learn/droit-eau). We look forward to you joining us!...

That's a great course. Not only introducing the approach, but providing us with different pro and cons of the method. And it gives a lot to critical thinking on the topic. I found it really helpful

Interactive and very convenient quiz feedback. Too many instructors, however, would sometimes a bit hard to concentrate.

This course was clearly cutting edge in its day, which was 2012. Today, in 2024, and despite being updated in 2016, it seems quite dated. Revisions now would show that the field has been growing by leaps and bounds. The topics are still conceptually useful, but the application examples could be so much improved by current cases, showcasing a broader range of implementers, challenges and solutions. I applaud Unige for being a leader in the field - and I can only assume that they are SO far advanced now in that leadership, accompanying research and widespread application.

As a relatively new field, much is still to define and discover. I think the course could have been more interesting if combined with less theory and more discussion on application.

Not completely on board with the methodology, and although may be interesting to those heavily invested, did not quite find the course material drawing me in.
