Environmental geography describes the spatial aspects and interactions between man and the natural world and, as such, requires an understanding of all those dynamics, as well as the ways in which human societies conceptualise the environment and use a set of analytical tools of fundamental importance to assess the anthropic impact on the environment.
The course provides students with the foundations and theoretical approaches of the subject through specific case studies that will enable them to acquire the tools for the scientific analysis of territorial systems, the cultural landscape, and the visual landscape, i.e. to assess the relative environmental and social impact produced by human intervention on these systems. The course proposes a reading of the transformations taking place from the Holocene to the Anthropocene and aims to provide students with useful tools for an in-depth reading of the current evolution of sustainability policies in order to arrive at the topicality of the SDGs.
