Environmental Sustainability Advocacy And Stewardship

The relationship between human activities and the environment requires close attention in order to maintain sustainable development, biodiversity and human existence. The mitigation of environmental impacts from societal activities, either of universal importance such as global climate change or of regional importance, involves many stakeholders. Societies can address the environmental challenges and evoke change by integrating learning and action. This course will study the pressing environmental issues, the concepts of environmental ethics, advocacy and stewardship from individual, local and global scale contexts. In addition, the role of ICT in monitoring, adapting to, and mitigating climate change, will be examined.
