MPP 6117 - Environmental Law & Policy

Cross-Listed As: MPP 4117

This course is designed to offer students the opportunity to gain an understanding of the causes and cures of our environmental issues as well as, an inquiry into how we address those issues through political and social means. Our planet is impacted by an expanding human population, poverty, the lack of necessary public and natural resources, and the dangers of toxic emissions and other pollutants imposed onto the environment and into ourselves. Dealing effectively with these issues requires an understanding of interactions between the human systems and the natural world, social mechanisms, and applying critical thinking skills with, interdisciplinary scientific analysis if we are to have long-term and sustainable solutions for the benefit of current and future generations.
