Description
Access to clean water, nutritious food and reliable power and transportation systems are basic human needs. Currently however, many of these resources are managed unsustainably and humans are living beyond Earth’s regenerative capacity.
Students will analyse what sustainability means and how it can be assessed in relation to renewable resources, non-renewable resources and pollution using specific aspects of the United Nations (UN) Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) as a framework for understanding environmental sustainability.
