Environmental Management and Sustainability

This course provides an overview of environmental management and policy with a strong focus on sustainable development. The overall aim is to identify the links between the natural environment and the human economy. In order to cope with resource scarcities and natural problems caused by human activity, environmental management needs to fulfill an interdisciplinary approach covering ecology, environmental economics and policy, planning and social development, etc. We will investigate how environmental governance and governance for sustainable development help to foster global environmental challenges.

Sabine Sedlacek is Assistant Professor of Public Governance and Management at MODUL University Vienna and expert in sustainable regional development.
