授業の概要と目的(何を学ぶか)Outline and objectives
This is an introductory course in environmental studies: the course introduces students to the basic knowledge of environmental science and environmental policy. Students will learn basic principles around natural scientific mechanism of specific environmental problems, such as water, waste, energy, climate change, and biodiversity, that are considered as most pressing of our time. The lectures will also emphasize the socio-economic mechanism that are often at the root of the environmental problems. Through the case studies, the course also aims to introduce students to the UN 2030 Agenda for sustainable development on these issues. Mini tours on environmental facilities on/off campus will be arranged to help students connect the theories with the reality, if the situation allows.
到達目標Goal
Students will be able to
- explain basic scientific mechanisms of major environmental problems;
- explain the root mechanism why such environmental problems occurs; and
- gain perspectives needed to critically think about and seek solutions for these problems and bring sustainable society.
