Description
Australia has stunning and diverse natural environments, from flourishing rainforests to vast deserts and mountain ranges full of unique plants and wildlife. All of this is at risk from changing climates and the destruction of ecosystems, requiring increased environmental action at the personal, social, and political levels. The program is designed to empower students to make a positive contribution in building more sustainable societies. Students gain critical knowledge necessary to make informed judgments about environmental issues and to consider questions related to environmental policy and natural resource management.
