Course Description

Although humans are extremely innovative, we have also caused many ecological problems. We have changed the world, fished the seas and are causing climate change by our emissions.

It is important to design institutional arrangements that recognize ecosystem services and the value we place on natural systems. This will help us govern the planet for future generations.

This course examines three different approaches to rights, values, and how they are applied to ecosystem services all over the globe. This course also provides advice on how to create press releases regarding environmental issues.

The CPD Certification Service has accredited this course, so it can be used as evidence of your professional continuing education.
