Sustainability, Science and Society
About Sustainability, Science and Society
The B.A. & Sc. Interfaculty Program in Sustainability, Science and Society focuses on the interdisciplinary and integrative knowledge and skills required to effectively understand and address challenges in transitioning to a more just and sustainable future. Challenges are often defined by multiple dimensions, including scientific-technological, socio-economic, political-institutional, ethical, and human behavioural. The program is built on three academic pillars: 1) science and technology - to provide an in-depth understanding of the biophysical basis for current issues and challenges; 2) economics, policy, and governance - to understand how we can make the sustainability transition; 3) ethics, equity, and justice - to discuss why we need change, and the issues of equity and justice associated with taking action.
This program is offered by the Department of Geography in collaboration with the Bieler School of Environment.
