• Analyse and explain how to include core stakeholder interests and potential trade-offs in solutions for carbon neutrality.
• Transfer the understanding of interdisciplinary approaches and interfaces between academic work and civil-society actors in climate solutions to solve other global challenges.
• Be able to engage in the public debate about the importance of societal and humanitarian interaction in the development of solutions to complex societal challenges.

Competences
• Competently outline and discuss the complex challenge and solution of carbon management in the climate crisis and the need for technological as well as societal and humanitarian approaches in developing solutions
