Course Overview
Sustainable environmental management requires both scientific understanding and strong policy frameworks. This Environmental Geosciences and Policy Development Training Course connects earth sciences with governance, giving participants the knowledge to apply geoscientific data in policy formulation and decision-making.
The course introduces key concepts in environmental geosciences, such as land use, water systems, and climate interactions, while examining policy approaches that address resource management, climate adaptation, and biodiversity protection. Through global case studies and interactive sessions, participants will learn how to design policies that align with environmental goals and community needs.
By the end, participants will have the skills to engage stakeholders, interpret geoscientific findings, and shape policies that balance development and conservation.
