About Environmental Studies in University of Regina

The environment refers to everything that surrounds us, including human beings. Under such a broad umbrella, environmental studies encompasses the study of how human beings connect with the physical structures, institutions and economies we build, the politics, language and culture by which we communicate, and the planet and its intricate variety of living and non-living elements and processes. Environmental Studies is rooted in questions that include:

• What role does scientific knowledge have in environmental decision-making?
• How will humans adapt to the conflict between an economy based on growth and a planet with finite resources?

• What are the distinctions between environmental policy and environmental politics?
• Who defines what constitutes an "environmental issue"?
• Who benefits, and pays, for environmental reform?
• How do we systematically address environmental problems that may be unsystematic?
