Overview

Environmental degradation and climate change are global emergencies, yet we live in a world that is ecologically and culturally diverse, and which is economically and socially unequal.

Sustainable solutions thus require knowledge of the complex interactions and trade-offs between environmental, economic, social and cultural sustainability. the Sustainability Studies course is offered at the University of York course provides this essential interdisciplinary overview, allowing you to specialise in the sustainability of ecosystems, communities, landscapes, buildings and heritage, or to focus on the interactions between them.
