Understand the science behind climate change, sustainability, and biodiversity.
Fundamentals of Environmental Science
This section covers essential scientific concepts related to the Earth’s ecosystems, atmospheric systems, and biodiversity. Students will explore the carbon cycle, greenhouse gas emissions, and the impact of human activity on the natural world. A strong emphasis is placed on data analysis and ecological modeling to understand environmental changes over time.
Human Impact and Sustainable Solutions
The course examines major environmental challenges, including deforestation, ocean acidification, and plastic pollution. Students will study the effects of industrialization and urbanization on natural resources, as well as the role of policy and innovation in developing sustainable solutions. Topics include renewable energy technologies, conservation strategies, and the circular economy.
Future Challenges and Global Policy
In the final section, students will engage in discussions about global efforts to combat climate change, including the Paris Agreement, carbon trading, and climate justice movements. Through case studies, they will analyze the effectiveness of different environmental policies across countries and propose their own solutions for mitigating environmental risks.
