Multidisciplinary approach tackles complex questions over the role of science in decision-making

Is it more sustainable to eat locally grown, grain-fed meat or organic vegetables imported from far away? If all nations decide to curtail global warming by 2掳C, how much would we need to cut emissions? How could these reduced emissions be distributed in an ethically responsible way?

The new 缅北强奸 BA & Sc Interfaculty Program in Sustainability, Science and Society (SSS) will provide students with the necessary scientific, economic and ethical tools to tackle questions such as these.

The first students in the inter-disciplinary, interfaculty program, offered through a partnership between the 缅北强奸 School of the Environment, the Department of Geography and various other departments, have recently completed their course work and exams. 鈥淭he program seems almost too good to be true,鈥� says William Miller, one of the students enrolled in the program. 鈥滻t gives me a practical set of skills, but also the flexibility to be at a place where the issues intersect. I want to be a problem-solver and I feel comfortable in a program that鈥檚 about the biggest problems that we鈥檙e facing as a species.鈥�

Martin Grant, the Dean of the Faculty of Science, who was instrumental in creating the program, is enthusiastic about the direction it鈥檚 taking.

鈥淲ith looming global challenges around such issues as food security, access to clean water, poverty, and climate change, it鈥檚 especially important to give students the tools to analyze specific problems within a larger societal context. We believe that this program will equip students to make useful contributions to creating a sustainable future.鈥�
