Climate and Environmental Sustainability

About

Climate change is not only the defining issue of our generation but also of the next generation. Humans have caused so much damage and disruption to our global environment that our own existence is now at stake, as are those of many animals and natural habitats around the world. It is vital that humanity acts to address this issue and the world needs trained experts who can help. If you are deeply concerned about climate change and our environment, and fascinated by how we affect the landscape and how the landscape affects us, this specialist environmental geography programme could be perfect for you. Taking a multi-faceted approach This applied geography programme takes a dual approach that is not just about understanding climate change and its consequences, but also about understanding how the environment itself offers solutions. You will to prioritise and implement nature-based solutions, which could involve, for example, supporting biodiversity or natural land use such as retaining flood plains. One factor that distinguishes this programme is how it encompasses different disciplines. Not only will students learn topics such as physical geography, climate science and biogeography, but they will also study the social aspects of climate change and become skilled in data analysis. Working geographers must be data-literate as they use spatial analysis and mapping technologies, so the programme has been designed to mirror real-world practice.
