READ THE PRESS RELEASE

Dive into the 70,000-year history of humanity, the economy, and the environment.

The Ages of Globalization, an innovative new online course conceptually based on Professor Jeffrey Sachs' seminal book "The Ages of Globalization," is a story of humanity across the world and over time.

Our history is one of interdependence - globalization - as well as change,

driven by geography, technology, and institutions.

By understanding our shared history,

we can also understand how to meet the great challenges of our time.

A revolutionary breakthrough in Education for Sustainable Development

With visits and storytelling at UNESCO's Cultural Heritage Sites,

this course introduces a new and thrilling curriculum that merges

world history, science, geography, technology, interactive maps,

and monthly live dialogues with world leaders with

Professor Jeffrey D. Sachs and distinguished guests from across the globe.
