This course uses an organised, module-based methodology to impart a fundamental understanding of environmental science. Environmental Pollution introduces the main contaminants, their sources, health effects, and global views at the start of the program. After that, it moves on to Social Issues and Environment, where students study global case studies that highlight the connections between environmental problems, pollution, and human health. Ecosystem structure, nutrient cycle, energy flow, and vital ecosystem services are all covered in the third module, Ecosystems. Building on this, the Biodiversity and Conservation module presents planetary boundaries, biome integrity, community ecology, and biodiversity principles. The last module, Climate Change and Environment, introduces students to global consequences, anthropogenic and natural sources of climate change, climatic processes, and the fundamentals of adaptation and mitigation.
