Environmental policy, perspectives, and priorities

What it covers

Why do we conduct environmental science and how is environmental data used to inform decision-making in society? This course introduces you to the science-policy interface, exploring how environmental science influences society and governance, and conversely, how society, policy, and legislation shape environmental science research and practice. Australian and international policy and legislative reporting requirements will frame how we address environmental and related issues. You will critically evaluate the policy and socio-political systems that shape environmental science practice in and by industry and government to explore whether and how they may (or may not) achieve desirable social and environmental objectives.
