CourseDescription:
Many of the decisions we make and actions we take, either individually or in groups, affect our environment, yet economic and political considerations often dominate. Integrating ‘environment’ with other factors in decision-making is a size able challenge, and our emphasis on environment in this course is intended not to isolate it but to ensure that it is not forgotten.
You will learn how to use a variety of systems ideas and techniques (including modeling) for exploring the context of environmental issues, formulating problems and opportunities, evaluation, monitoring and taking action. Case studies and examples are included, and you will have opportunities to explore your own environmental decision-making situation.
Course Objective:
Nearly all decision making has an environmental aspect, depending on what you understand by ‘the environment’. Many of the decisions we make and actions we take, both individually and in groups, have environmental effects, yet economic and political considerations often dominate in a way that fails to take account of our environment.
Environmental decision making explicitly includes ‘environment’ alongside social, economic and political issues in decision making. The point of ‘environment’ in the course title is not to make it separate, but to ensure that it is not forgotten.
