Its wide-ranging, interdisciplinary approach to sustainability issues reflects that of the Centre itself. The aims of the Centre are to promote research and teaching in the areas of environmental change and sustainability, by working across traditional disciplinary boundaries, both within and outside the University. It is part of the School of GeoSciences, which has ninety academic staff working in ecology, environmental science, geography, geology and meteorology.

http://www.chrismaser.com/

Extractions: "As you state 'there is a need for integrating science and social values in a way that can bring humanity closer to the prospect of social-environmental sustainability.' In 1953, I did field work with Margaret Mead in Papua New Guinea. She stated that it should never be said that one person cannot make an important difference. It was something like that. I feel your work will make a profound difference. You integrate the need to hear the voices of children. As a mother and grandmother, I am particularly sensitive to the needs of children. Chris you are doing wonderful work." Lenora Foerstel

http://www.nova.edu/ocean/envsust/envsust.html

Extractions: NOW AVAILABLE FOR UNDERGRADUATE, GRADUATE, OR GENERAL INTEREST (CERTIFICATE) CREDIT This course may be taken by anyone, anywhere, the only requirements being access to the web and proficiency in the English language. Ideal for those seeking professional advancement in their respective fields. Course coordinators are available via email, fax, "snail-mail" and telephone. Course materials and participation can be accessed anytime, anyplace, meaning that you can read the materials and post messages when it is convenient to you. This web-based distance education course highlights more than 25 years of international discussion, debate and ideas, with regard to the state of the environment and our actions towards it. Key considerations and voices are included, from both North and South. This unusual and challenging course avoids the usual categorizations, and instead examines in a cross-cutting approach the environmental and social issues that effect our lives. Students become part of an "international learning community", by participating in on-line closed discussion. The emphasis is on presenting an international range of perspectives and case studies, linking the issues and ideas to up-to-the-moment occurrences as they effect students, when they happen and wherever they are. Arguably, on-line learning is particularly appropriate to an environmental issues course.

With the common goal of defining, characterizing and understanding environmental sustainability, the cluster identifies how each participating discipline can creatively contribute and thus, enable students to direct their own courses of study toward this end. Cluster Coordinator : Joe Maser (UNST 224) A sustainable human society is one that satisfies its needs without jeopardizing the opportunity of future generations to satisfy theirs. This course introduces students to the study of environmental sustainability, and to the ways in which a wide variety of disciplines address environmental issues. This SINQ leads to the Environmental Sustainability Cluster.

This is through the: (1) evolution and refinement of the legislative, institutional, and regulatory framework; (2) use of market-based mechanisms and adoption of environmentally sustainable technologies to encourage private sector participation in environmental protection as well as greater community alliance in the formulation and implementation of local level initiatives; and (3) establishment of a more effective system of environmental governance and delivery of environmental services, including monitoring and enforcement. The portfolio supports two main outcomes: Strengthened, rationalized and effectively implemented environment and natural resources policies, frameworks and plans.
