Why does environmental policy matter?
Because today’s environmental challenges are increasingly complex and interconnected, and solving them requires coordinated responses, strong governance, and systems thinking that cuts across borders and sectors.
There is also a growing need for professionals who can connect environmental science, policy, and planning to advance the Sustainable Development Goals.
