Bachelor of Environmental Policy and Management

Stand up for the environment Earth is home to 8 billion people with an ever-increasing population — and we’re careless. Animals and plants are dying out, oceans are overfished and polluted, loggers cut down precious forests, and climate change is affecting the planet. Finding a way to live together and protect the environment could be our greatest challenge. Environmental policy, applied effectively, can stop this from happening through land and water management, carbon mitigation and adaptation, national parks, and new approaches to sustainable development. Environmental policy makers solve problems with the community and protect the environment for a better future. They protect vital ecosystems and stand between the environment and processes that degrade it. What will you do?
