Sustainable Development
Climate change and environmental stress more generally pose great challenges to humanity in every corner of the globe.
Making human lives sustainable in such conditions involves meeting challenges which extend from securing essential food and energy supplies, to developing viable communities, social, cultural and economic institutions and finding effective systems of local, national and international governance.
The sustainable development major explores the varied dimensions of social, economic and political change in the present world. Geography is a core discipline of this major, as it examines the threats and opportunities to developing and maintaining local communities within the context of regional, national and international processes.
