Overview
Our world is changing fast – we are experiencing pressure from climate change, growing demands for finite resources and the extinction of many plants and animals.
Are you interested in global environmental issues; how living and non-living things interact; how humans are changing the planet and are now responding to the difficult challenges this brings? If you’re looking for a single module that offers a general introduction to studying the environment, then this is the module for you. It provides the ideal foundation for a range of environment, science, social science and technology qualifications or you can study it on its own.
