This program focuses on developing future leaders and managers of eco-service markets, such as carbon and water trading, and environmental sustainability issues, such as climate change. Students have the opportunity to pursue interests in four aspects of natural resource governance: the biophysical sciences; relevant aspects of behavioural change including education and communication; business including economics, accounting and strategy; and law and institutional arrangements.
