RNR 150C1 Sustainable Earth: Natural Resources and the Environment

Life support systems on planet Earth are becoming progressively more challenged by a global human population that has exceeded 7 billion people. With a focus on natural resources, we will explore how society deals with threats to the planetary goods and services on which all life depends. Sustainability lies at the intersection of the environment, society, and economics. We will explore environmental, societal, and economic strategies and perspectives humans have developed to become effective stewards of our natural resources and achieve a sustainable Earth.
