Sustainable Development
|
|
|
The sustainability of development poses many of the most important policy challenges for the future of the planet. None of the central issues can be understood from the sole perspective of a traditional discipline, whether in the social or natural sciences. The Ph.D. in Sustainable Development combines elements of a traditional graduate education in social science, particularly economics, with study in the natural sciences, to prepare graduates who will be uniquely situated to undertake serious research and policy assessments to further the goal of sustainable development. The program includes a set of rigorous core requirements in social and natural sciences, and provides students with the flexibility to pursue in-depth research in a broad variety of critical policy areas, deeply informed by an understanding of the natural processes that interact with social systems. No other doctoral program produces graduates with the unique combination of diverse skills and deep insight into the most challenging problems of future human welfare. Research projects that the students in the program are working on with senior experts at Columbia include climate change and its social consequences, causes and solutions to extreme poverty, energy systems, agricultural transitions, water resources, infectious disease, global demographic change including forced migrations, ecosystems, disasters and conflict. Students also benefit from being part of the Earth Institutešs suite of research and practice programs that focus on sustainable development.
