Grounded in the philosophy of sustainable development, the program aims to develop an understanding of the individual discipline based concepts and theoretical paradigms in economics, ecology and social science. The program also raises awareness of the complexity of addressing environmental conservation goals. Concepts are applied to problems of social and economic development and environmental management, particularly in the developing country context. | | | Prerequisites
