Robust policies are essential to prevent, minimise, or mitigate harmful human impacts on our natural environment at local, national and global scales. \n\nEveryone has a role to play, from citizens to global leaders but understanding the roles and power relations of different stakeholders, and the processes and the dynamics of the policy-making arena is important if these policies are to be successful. \n\nYou’ll explore: \n\nthe processes and limitations involved in the formation and implementation of public policies on environmental issues; \nkey concepts of environmental politics; \nthe role of government and other interest groups in the policy-making process. \nDrawing on case studies, you’ll consider the effectiveness of various forms of policy instruments and their limitations. You’ll develop a strong understanding of the ways in which governments have attempted to address environmental issues such as climate change, waste and water pollution. \n\nThe UN has defined 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) which set out the world’s roadmap to ending poverty, reducing inequality and protecting the planet by 2030. In this module you will learn about why we need to protect our planet through environmental policies and careful management, and explore case studies that are relevant to delivering SDGs 10: Reduced Inequalities, 12: Responsible Consumption and Production, 13: Climate Action, 14: Life Below Water, 15: Life on Land.\n\nLocation/Method of Study\nStirling/On Campus, UK\n\nModule Objectives\nIntended learning outcomes:By the end of this course, students should be able to:Demonstrate an understanding of the key concepts that underpin environmental policy.Evaluate the role of science in environmental policy making.Describe and undertake a critical assessment the processes of environmental policy formulation.Assess whether current management practices address the requirements of environmental policy.Undertake a critical evaluation of the effectiveness of environmental policy using case studies in the UK and internationally.\n\nAdditional Costs\nThere are no additional costs associated with this Module.\n\nCore Learning Outcomes\nOn successful completion of the module, you should be able to:\n\ndemonstrate an understanding of the key concepts that underpin environmental policy;\nevaluate the role of science in environmental policy making;\ndescribe and undertake a critical assessment the processes of environmental policy formulation;\nassess whether current management practices address the requirements of environmental policy;\nundertake a critical evaluation of the effectiveness of environmental policy using case studies in the UK and internationally.\nIntroductory Reading and Preparatory Work\nThere is no single core text for this course; students are expected to read widely from the reading lists.

"Environmental Geography is an integrated four-year degree course that provides you with training across the spectrum of the subject. We emphasise research-led and experience-based approaches to understanding the complex relationships between people and the planet. With an international context, the course is designed to give you essential skills in critical thinking and reasoning, fieldwork, laboratory work, statistics and geospatial analysis.\n\nSemesters 1-2 focus on the building of planet Earth and the surface processes responsible for the evolution of our landscape. Alongside these core earth-science modules you'll be introduced to how people interact with the environment and the most pressing human-environment issues of the 21st century – including global warming, water resources, pollution and biodiversity loss.\n\nIn Semesters 3-4, the emphasis is on field skills, biogeography and environmental resilience, including the essential systems of nutrient cycling for sustaining life on Earth.\n\nIn Semesters 5-6, research-led teaching provides a wide range of advanced modules that include themes of sustainable environmental resources, palaeo-environments, earth-surface processes and advanced geospatial techniques including remote sensing and GIS. You'll also learn about sustainable development issues and there is a choice of skills-centred field courses in Year 3.\n\nIn your final year you'll develop and apply your research skills through your Honours research project. You'll be closely supported by your academic supervisor and can actively participate in national and international research programmes. In doing so, you can take full advantage of the wider geographical research community at the University."@en . . . "4"@en . "FALSE" . . "Bachelor"@en . "Thesis" .
