Very informative and detailed. Prof. Sachs covers all aspects of sustainable development in detail. Though the course was designed in 2013 hence does not cover the latest development to SDGs to date.

Some statistics needs to be updated based on latest data, Links to the assignments are not working or not updated to the new link and needs to be aligned but overall the course is highly recommended!
