Environmental managers are concerned with ensuring the ecological sustainability of human development. History has shown that if we don’t 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 program equips graduates with the problem solving skills to work with community members and professional practitioners to develop innovative policy and strategies that address the increasingly complex causes of today’s environmental problems, including urban development, global climate change, persistent organic pollutants, decreasing biodiversity and deteriorating air and water quality.
