ENV200: Introduction to Environmental Studies |
This is a general self-contained interdisciplinary unit, which outlines human attitudes to, and relationships with the environment. It is designed for a range of students - including those with no scientific background.
The concept of environment, together with conflicting priorities, as well as the difficulties of incorporating environment into current economic systems are demonstrated. The major physical and biological systems of planetary environments are discussed in relation to problems (such as population, energy use, land degradation or water pollution). The current management processes, legal and legislative mechanisms are explained, with suggested strategies to alleviate existing problems.
