Key Facts

Environmental studies starts from the realization that human societies and the natural environment are inseparable, and that responsible stewardship requires exploring questions from many angles.

Here are a few:

Scientific: What are the geophysical, ecological, and biological effects of human activities at different scales?

Social, political and economic: Who bears the costs of resource extraction and pollution? Who benefits? Who decides?

Historical: How have past patterns of land, water, and energy use shaped current challenges and opportunities?

Philosophical and Moral: What are the right and wrong ways of acting in and towards nature? How do we balance our obligations to ourselves, to future generations and to the more than human world?
