Environmental Management and Sustainable Development
Master's Degree: Studying in Geneva
The climate agenda is becoming clearer and the development of sustainability regulation at the international and regional levels, as well as in the corporate sector, is accelerating.
Building a «green economy» in the world requires the training of a new generation of qualified personnel competent simultaneously in several areas — geography, ecology, economics, international cooperation and legal issues.
