ENV512: Global and Regional Sustainability

Rapidly growing population, the spread of cities, the energy crisis, global warming, deforestation, desertification, the loss of species and toxic chemicals are examples of global environmental challenges with a social and economic basis that invite regional solutions. This unit will provide a global and regional perspective on the interconnections between these concerns; their solution in a sustainable development framework; and the role of technology, community values and global and regional sustainability institutions in managing our future.
