New Track II: Sustainability, Policy, and Equity
Beginning in the Fall 2012 semester, all students declaring for ENVS to
complete the Track II will be required to choose from these courses. This
list will periodically be updated as new courses present themselves. Please
make sure to check Course Offerings for the most
up-to-date semester based course listings.
Sustainability, Policy, and Equity
focuses on environmental sustainability and environmental justice and requires
that students integrate economics, policy, human well being (e.g., anthropology
or sociology). Sustainability was developed to describe human practices that
actively protect and do not negatively affect the earth natural ecosystem's ability to support healthy
biological systems and human well being now and in the future. Human practices
have environmental, economic, and social dimensions that need to be considered
in the context of sustainability. Clearly, sustainability is truly
multi-dimensional and multi-disciplinary. The goal of this curriculum track
is to maximize students' exposure to as
many of these dimensions as possible.
