The programme draws on UNU-IAS's long-standing reputation for excellence in policy-oriented research for sustainable development. Protecting and preserving biodiversity is one of the most important global environmental challenges we face today. With growing international interest on environmental governance and the role of biodiversity in regional and national development, there is increasing demand for biodiversity experts with empirically and conceptually grounded training. UNU-IAS provides students with the intellectual foundation and practical field experience necessary for understanding environmental governance regimes. Graduates of the programme will receive a Master of Science degree from the United Nations University and the skills necessary to forge new frontiers as researchers and practitioners with an interdisciplinary and systemic understanding of biodiversity, ecosystems and sustainable development.
