Language of instruction: depending on the choice
Form of verification: course work
ECTS credits: 3
Purpose and description of the content of education:
The “Natural Environment and Technologies” area pertains to human interaction with the material environment, both the natural one and the one heavily modified by technology. This is the environment where people live, which they are subject to, and which they change in many ways. Understanding the Anthropocene requires an understanding of how biological systems function (from cells to ecosystems, to modern environmental threats, climate issues, natural resources, and many other natural issues) as well as an understanding of the rudiments of technical and technological knowledge. It is crucial to know and understand how technological development, especially in the areas of energy, green technologies, modern materials or everyday life (e.g. food production) can change the nature of human impact and support the way we care for the environment. The ways in which the human impact on the environment is regulated include using legal tools, such as nature protection law or energy law, as well as EU regulations, Sustainable Development Goals or the European Green Deal.
