Global Environmental Issues

Course description

Human (anthropogenic) impacts on biophysical environments, biodiversity and natural resources are the focus of this course. Students examine the ways in which human behaviour and our socio-economic systems impact the environment in a variety of industries (energy, manufacturing, mining, transportation and agriculture) while envisioning future possibilities. Issues of sustainability are explored in light of complex environmental challenges and global markets.

Students registering for credit courses for the first time must declare a program at the point of registration. Declaring a program does not necessarily mean students must complete a program, individual courses may be taken for skill improvement and upgrading.
