| Course Objectives: | The aim of this course is to teach the fundamental principles of environmental science and natural resource management; to analyze the scientific basis and current impacts of climate change; to examine and understand key environmental and climate change issues by comparing them with contemporary events; and to enable students to develop an analytical perspective that allows them to relate environmental and climate change topics to their own academic disciplines. |
| Course Content: | The Environmental and Climate Change course addresses ecosystems, natural resource management, global and local environmental problems, and climate change processes through a holistic approach, beginning with the fundamental concepts of environmental science. Within the scope of the course, key topics such as the concept of environment, ecological processes, environmental ethics, ecosystem services, and waste management are examined. In addition, the components of the climate system, the scientific foundations of climate change, mitigation and adaptation strategies, and nature-based solutions are discussed in relation to the Sustainable Development Goals, environmental indicators, and environmental policies. Throughout the course, alongside global developments, environmental and climate policies in Türkiye are also evaluated. The course aims to enable students to analyze environmental issues from a multidisciplinary perspective. |
