Abstract
Description The seminar's goal is to motivate and enable students to take substantial steps toward a more sustainable world. It provides them with the tools they need to make a difference. Throughout the seminar, students will investigate the major environmental and climate change challenges confronting Jordanian communities. Water scarcity, sustainable energy production, food security, and the impact of refugees on natural resources will be among the topics addressed. The seminar takes a multifaceted approach, incorporating informative lectures, site visits to rural areas where communities and refugees live, and engaging discussions that will prepare students for their future internships. Additionally, the seminar places emphasis on the role of international relations in facilitating coordination and collaboration among countries, particularly in addressing issues such as water scarcity and hydro-politics involving Jordan, Syria, the West Bank, and Israel.
