Introduction | View Details | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
The world is characterized by skewed trade in natural resources, deforestation, geo- political struggles over oil and gas supplies, desertification and increasing environment related diseases among other issues. This raises important questions about how humans currently - and in future should organize the governance of natural resources and environments upon which they depend. Transformative leaders and change agents with a multidisciplinary practical knowledge on resource economy, policy, legal pluralism, global business, eco-health, community mobilization skills and integrated natural resources management are required to assist communities in sustainable utilization of resources as well as develop policy and generate research data that would guide integrated environmental management. In response to the needed human capacity in this area, the institute has developed a multidisciplinary and experiential learning program in environmental governance studies.
Traditional education often produces learners who find it difficult to link the knowledge they have gained with the realities they face, thereby limiting their immediate relevance to the working world. One of the practical elements of the programme is emphasis on experiential learning which will involve working with institutions in regulatory matters related to environmental governance. Again, the principal components of the program focus on holistic nature of environment training and integration of environment, livelihoods, peace and sustainability. Further, the graduates will offer authoritative transformative leadership in environmental issues in society, do research and teach at universities. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
