The objective of this unit is to enable students to understand how decisions are made about environmental issues and particularly to assess the relative significance of: politics; values held by stakeholders; scientific and technical information; procedural requirements established by law and administration; and market forces. Theories and practices of decision making will be examined. Qualitative and quantitative tools used to support environmental decision making will also be covered. -- Course Website
