Program Overview

How do people interact with nature, and how does this impact the environment? How do societies transform nature? The environment consists of a complex set of human and natural systems of which people are an important, and sometimes dominant, element. Decisions made by individuals, institutions, governments, industries and other actors have the ability to impact the environment in both direct and indirect ways, with consequences for future generations. Understanding the costs and benefits of development and conservation, as well as the underlying values and ethical guidelines for good environmental practice are critical for informed environmental decision-making. It is critical, to both the present and future state of the environment, that dialogue and policy are precautionary, evidence-based, thoughtful and inclusive.

The Environmental and Climate Change Studies program at Carleton University prepares students to be informed, skilled individuals who can participate effectively in the resolution of environmental problems and in the larger environmental debates critical to our future.

Study What Interests You
Gain a solid foundation in Environmental and Climate Change Studies while also pursuing specific areas of interest, such as resource conservation, environmental justice, urban sustainability or environmental policy.

Work Experience
Co-op placements, workplace practica, experiential learning and hands-on training provide valuable research skills and practical experience while you complete the program.

Capital Advantage
While studying at Carleton, you will be steps away from many local and national environmental researchers, organizations, activists and policy makers. You will also benefit from access to specialized national collections of environmental information and of federal government departments, as well as numerous head offices of environmental non-governmental organizations.
