About Environmental Studies and Climate Change
Environmental Studies and Climate Change delves into the factors influencing population growth in the Caribbean, while also examining our relationship with the natural environment and its resources.
Emphasis is placed on the Caribbean's energy production and consumption, and how it affects population parameters, poverty, and environmental sustainability. Learners develop a finer understanding and appreciation of the inter-dependence of humanity and the environment.
