Environmental Justice (University of East Anglia, FutureLearn)
Justice also takes into account how people interact with the world around them. This course will give you an overview of the causes and impacts of the world's most pressing environmental issues, as well as how they affect communities all over the world. While it is open to anybody who is interested, it is beneficial to have a background in environmental studies and/or international development.
Students will learn about scientific, public policy, and social justice approaches to subjects including deforestation, biodiversity, and climate change from teachers from the University of East Anglia's interdisciplinary Global Environmental Justice Group. Using a series of films shot around the world, students will be able to hear directly from global environmental justice advocates on the challenges they face. By the end of the course, students will learn that working on environmental issues necessarily requires an attention to social justice and human rights.
