Environmental systems and societies (ESS)

The Environmental Systems and Societies (ESS) course offers an interdisciplinary approach to understanding the complex interactions between humans and the natural world. This course explores environmental issues through the lens of both natural sciences and social sciences, examining the ecological, economic, and socio-political dimensions of environmental challenges.  Students investigate topics such as biodiversity, climate change, pollution, resource management, and sustainable development. The course emphasizes critical thinking, problem-solving, and decision-making, encouraging students to analyze environmental problems, evaluate potential solutions, and understand the role of human values and behaviors in shaping environmental outcomes.
