This course surveys the scientific and policy principles of sustainability and environmental management and connects these principles to current issues and case studies including human health, air and water pollution, toxics and waste management, resource and ecosystem health, climate change, social and environmental justice, biodiversity, legal and regulatory strategies, and the transition to a sustainable economy. This course is an introduction to a broad scope of study and is fundamentally cross-disciplinary. The course gives students an overview knowledge of theory, analytical methodology, and policy challenges in the fields of sustainability and environmental management. Ultimately, students learn how sustainability issues are quantified and improvements are carried out with support from a systems perspective.
