From climate change and biodiversity loss to bio-accumulating toxins and emerging diseases, we are increasingly faced with challenges that are simultaneously social and environmental in nature. The Honours certificate in Environmental Humanities and Society (EHS) will deepen your understanding of the complex relationships between humans and their environments in a rapidly changing world.
