- If students want to help create sustainable solutions to challenges caused by major changes in the Earth’s geological and ecological systems through sound interdisciplinary research, the specialization Global Environmental Change and Policy is for them. Humanity has entered the Anthropocene, a new period in Earth history characterized by the unprecedented impacts of human activities on the Earth’s systems; this specialization addresses those impacts. As well as understanding the Earth System, students will analyze the broader social, political, and economic aspects of global environmental change.
- In the first year, students will study Earth Sciences, Environmental Economics, and Environmental Policy and Governance, exploring integrated approaches to solving global sustainability challenges. Students will also learn methods of interdisciplinary research, including fieldwork.
- The specialization is for students who want to go beyond understanding the earth system but instead aim to contribute to sustainable solutions by analyzing the broader social, political, and economic aspects of global environmental change. Students are highly motivated, interested in interdisciplinarity, focused on solutions rather than limitations, and equipped with a critical and analytical mind.
