About Environmental management 1

Environmental management can be thought of as managing our relationship with the environment. For all of us, this relationship is under increasing pressure. Why is environmental management vital for our sustainability? What kind of environmental management do we need now? The aim of this course is to explore systemic answers to these and related questions by introducing ideas, approaches and techniques for environmental management at individual, organisational and community levels. Recognising that our understanding of human-environment relations is changing, the course combines conventional with innovative systems approaches to environmental management.
