Dear all,
Please find below the announcement of an exciting free online course on
"Environmental Justice" organised by the Global Environmental Justice
Group at the University of East Anglia:
"The world faces challenging environmental problems. They are
challenging because different people typically contribute differently to
environmental change, and because its effects will be felt differently
by different people in different places.This free online course will
help you understand how injustice is a common feature of many
environmental problems. Over 10 weeks, we’ll look at deforestation,
biodiversity loss, climate change and other environmental issues, asking
questions such as:
● Can we manage tropical forests to increase timber revenues and carbon
stocks, while ensuring that the people who live in them can fulfil their
own subsistence needs and vision of a healthy ecosystem?
● How can protected areas strike the right balance between contemporary
global interests in species conservation, local interests, the needs of
future generations and rights of nature?"
All additional information on the course can be found here:
