The New Global Order

School of Sustainability

The School of Sustainability (SoS) is a pre-bachelor, action-based vocational education course focused on building skills that can be professionally applied towards efficient climate knowledge and action. It is the result of the collective work of three youth-led organizations: ISEC, TNGO, and Rethinking Climate.

About the Program

Climate Change is one of the most compelling issues of the 21st century. Today businesses, institutions, and citizens all across the world are today called to adapt to more sustainable standards of life, politics, and economics. Preserving the environment requires the education of future policymakers, voters, and businesspeople about the reality of climate change, alongside the choices that one can make to embrace environmental sustainability from a young age.

Acknowledging the challenges posed by remote learning and its impacts on the quality of educational standards, we are proud to present the School of Sustainability (SoS). Moved by the imperative of making education more accessible, students will be given the possibility to learn from high-profile experts and activists in the industry and interact with them during Q&A sessions. Moreover, lessons, workshops, and group projects will be offered to students in order to build skills that are fundamental for the environmental citizens of tomorrow.

First Edition of “Spring School of Sustainability”

The first edition of the Spring School of Sustainability is being offered by TNGO in partnership with ISEC Italia and Rethinking Climate. The School is aimed at providing students with actionable knowledge and valued skills as prospective workers in the green industry and citizens in a world affected by climate change. The program will start on March 15, 2022, and run for a total of three months with a mix of asynchronous and live content for the students.

What will the school include?

The program includes four modules, each composed of lectures, live sessions, skill-building workshops, and case studies to provide students with topical subjects to think critically of issues at the core of sustainability studies. The modules included in the Spring School are:

  1. Introduction to Sustainability Studies

The Standardization Trap on the Durand Line: The Atrophy of Kinetic Deterrence

The crisis along the Durand Line enshrines the failure of Pakistan’s Standardization Trap. Islamabad, captive to a technological illusion, has reduced asymmetric conflict to a mere matter of ballistic optimization, ignoring the political ontology of the threat. The systemic deployment of UAVs and the doctrine of Targeted Killings have not degraded the TTP; rather, they have regenerated its legitimacy, transmuting the geographical sanctuary into an ecosystem of ideological resilience. In this scenario of Inverted Strategic Depth, Islamabad’s technical hypertrophy masks a terminal sociological atrophy: the State strikes the void with millimetric precision, while the insurgency roots itself within the kinetic reaction itself, rendering technological sovereignty an exercise in costly futility.

Deportation at a Distance: Return Hubs and the EU’s Politics of Externalization

The European Union’s proposed return hubs would allow some people ordered to leave the bloc to be transferred to facilities in third countries. Backers present the scheme as a practical answer to weak return rates and political pressure over migration. This article examines how the proposal emerged, how it is meant to work and why it raises sharp legal, humanitarian and political questions.
