Environmental managers are concerned with ensuring the ecological sustainability of human development. History has shown that unless we effectively manage our environment, we will degrade it – possibly to the point where it can no longer sustain us. The Western Sydney University Environmental Management and Climate Change program equips graduates with the problem solving skills to work with government agencies, industry, communities and professional practitioners to develop innovative policy and strategies that address the increasingly complex causes of today’s environment and climate change-related problems, including urban development, toxic chemical pollutants and endocrine disruptors, decreasing biodiversity and deteriorating air and water quality.
