The environment currently faces multiple threats, including over-production, over-consumption, warfare and militaristic cultures, and its protection is a task for everyone. This subject offers you the opportunity to explore your own principles of environmentalism and how they relate to peace, and the concept of “make peace, plant a tree".
You will learn how to engage in finding a personal connection to green living and environmental responsibility by constructing for yourself a ‘green practice path to sustainability’. You will explore how to effect real change through acting in your own spheres of existence while influencing wider changes in the world.
This subject will also explore reducing harm to individuals and ecological systems; empathising with human and environmental suffering; gaining inspiration from green and peace thinkers and workers; and linking the green path of environmental peacebuilding to living in harmony with nature.
