The notion of sustainability is an important one in environmental issues ; for this reason, the training places particular emphasis on the concept of sustainable development. This means taking a long term view of what is at stake regarding the exploitation of natural resources, the continuous protection of quality of life, the synergies between all the perspectives of the different scientific disciplines and a coherent overview of how the ecosystems and the sociosystems interact.
This training therefore involves a solid programme of learning ranging across all the different perspectives related to the environment, including economic, social, demographic and legal aspects.
