Minor in Global Change and Sustainability
|
|
Global Change and Sustainability encompasses a wide range of environmental issues, including climate change, soil degradation, biodiversity, desertification, fresh water resources and urbanization. These challenges are intimately linked to policy issues. The minor provides a policy-oriented inter- and transdisciplinary introduction to current themes in this area. The programme is specifically designed for students with a strong background in natural sciences. The courses enable students to interact with the economic, societal and political dimension of the associated debates in sustainability assessment. |
