Overview

The world is characterized by skewed trade in natural resources, deforestation, geopolitical 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. Join the Environmental Governance programme at University of Nairobi to learn more.
