Description:

Explore environmental issues in development, such as climate change, water security, reconciling development needs with forest conservation, valuing biological diversity and sustainable natural resource management. Discover the links between the environment, questions of policy, people’s livelihoods and poverty reduction.

This course is one of very few in the UK that integrate social and natural science, whilst taking a broad interdisciplinary approach to the study of development issues. At the core of this degree programme is an exploration of the key themes in environmental and natural resource management. How do we understand and measure environmental change? What do we mean by good environmental governance? How can our understanding of these areas influence environment and development policy, human rights and other elements that collectively determine the wellbeing of individuals and communities? This degree is ideal if you aspire to work in one of the many development fields linked to the environment, sustainable natural resource management and rural livelihood improvement where people and communities are recognised to be the core determining factors in how resources are utilised.
