Environmental Policy and Planning

Changing the world requires new public policies, visionary plans, creative economic tools and collaborative decision-making.
How do we shift our energy mix from fossil fuels to renewable sources? How much protection should we provide to public lands, rare species and valuable natural areas? How do we ensure the safety of food and water supplies? Answers to questions like these can change the course of our future. In the Environmental Policy and Planning specialization at the University of Michigan School for Environment and Sustainability (SEAS), you will acquire the tools, analytic frameworks and scientific knowledge to promote environmental stewardship and advance sustainable societies.
