MERGED- A historic moment!
Yesterday, on July 21st, master’s thesis defenses were held for the first cohort of MERGED- Global Environment and Development students pursuing the Sustainable Environmental and Development study track at the University of Warsaw, University Centre for Environmental Studies and Sustainable Development. The defense of master’s theses took place online.
We wholeheartedly congratulate all of you on successfully defending your master’s theses!
This is a special moment that marks the end of a multi-year academic journey and opens new professional and academic opportunities for our students.
Each of them received a diploma with honors.
Now it’s time to celebrate – you’ve truly earned it!
We wish you continued success, both in your professional careers and personal lives. May the knowledge and experience you’ve gained open new doors and inspire you to grow even further!
Report: „Citizen Energy Models”
We present a report written by students of the Sustainable Development and Global Environmnet and Development (MERGED) – both degree programs are coordinated by the University’s Center for Environmental Studies and Sustainable Development, in cooperation with the Contributing Departments.
Learn more about the Global Environmnet and Development (MERGED) and Sustainable Development studies here and here.
This report is the culmination of the Challenges of the Social Dimension of Sustainability course taught by Małgorzata Pusz Ph.D of the Urban Research Lab (UrbanLab WGSR UW), a scientific unit at the Faculty of Geography and Regional Studies (WGSR) at the University of Warsaw.
Citizen energy is a model in which residents and local communities take an active role in the generation, distribution and consumption of energy, often using renewable sources. These models are rooted in the ideas of community involvement, decentralization, democratization, local empowerment and reinvestment of profits. They represent a form of energy democracy, a concept that emphasizes shifting the balance of power in the energy industry from corporations to citizens and from fossil fuels to renewable alternatives.
