Environmental Management: Saving the Planet (SDEM 503)

This course focuses on the never-ending journey of environmental sustainability, environmental management and its aspects. Environmental management refers to the goal or philosophical exercise of seeking to establish new perspectives towards the environment and human societies. Managers of the environment are a diverse group of people that includes policy makers, government officials, NGOs, scholars and individuals. Though there are different goals for environmental management, it is keen on understanding the structure and function of the earth system as well as the ways humans relate to the environment. It therefore deals with the regulation processes and protection of the health of the planet. This is possible with the promotion of behaviour that positively impacts the environment.
