PPOL 786B Environmental Policy
PPOL 754. ENVIRONMENTAL POLICY AND ETHICS.(Credit,
3 hours). The global environment is threatened because of the
development pressure, the lack of deliberate efforts to plan for growth,
lack of adequate conservation and preservation strategies, lack of
implementation of policies that would ensure that natural resources are
available in perpetuity, and the lack of enforcement of local, national,
and international laws. Students will be exposed to the opposing debates
on global environmental matters. The course engages students in the
theoretical underpinning of the global environmental debate. The ethical
and political issues concerning biodiversity protection, trade in wildlife,
urban and rural crises, multinational/transnational,and the implications
of Agenda 21 are examined.
