The courses intend to give comprehensive knowledge of environment management and how to apply management principles and tools in different organizations. A number of best practice cases from the countries in the Baltic Sea region are provided to illustrate how this is done. The four courses together treat how the environmental management is conducted by all stakeholders in a society; by authorities through legal and economic tools, inspection and control in using environmental audits and formal systems such as ISO 14001 and EMAS. The goal is to give the students an understanding of how to reduce environmental impact and make production more economic.
The full course Environmental Management provides a platform for professional work in environmental management in all parts of society, such as industry, authorities, municipalities et., or further studies in the area.
