Course overview

Despite the multiple ecological challenges facing the planet, the imperative for economic progress remains, and as a result there will be ongoing impacts caused by mining, urbanisation and other forms of development, including work needed to build towards green energy transitions. In this context, this course aims to teach students how to assess impacts, understand their relative impact and to develop the skills to identify how to reduce those risks and build more sustainable outcomes. Increasingly, EIA processes also require sophisticated engagement with industry as well as deployment of other programs such as Sustainability Appraisal, Environmental Management Systems and Life cycle Analyses, and this course introduces students to – and assists them to trial them using real life case studies. They will also be taught how to engage with stakeholders, and how to manage and resolve conflict.
