The course starts by exploring the sustainable development goals and the process that has led to their declaration. The course continues with an examination of the relationship between sustainable development and different types of cooperatives. Particular attention is paid to three types of cooperatives: consumer and producer cooperatives in the developed world, producer and credit cooperatives in the developing world, and new cooperatives created with the SDGs in mind. The course can be taken in both Finnish and English.
