The Environment and Sustainable Development MSc examines the critical relations between development planning and socio-environmental challenges in urban areas of the Global South. It challenges mainstream approaches to development, focusing on developing strategic pathways to address environmental injustices and enhance collective capacities to act towards more just and sustainable futures. Faced with the most severe environmental crisis in human history, with unprecedented degradation, displacements, disasters and the (re)production of inequalities, it becomes ever more pressing to acquire the capacities for effective action to restore, enhance and safeguard our planet.This MSc aims to equip participants to work effectively as development planners/practitioners to address these challenges through gaining a deeper understanding of the processes within urban environmental change and developing strategic capacities to respond within a framework of systems theory, environmental justice and sustainability.
