The course Environmental Issues and Policies aims to address major contemporary environmental problems by examining their historical development and analyzing them through ecological, economic, and social dimensions. Within the scope of the course, topics such as sustainable management of natural resources, air, water, and soil pollution, climate change, biodiversity loss, waste management, and the relationship between energy and the environment are studied from an interdisciplinary perspective.
