SERM – Sustainable Environmental Resources Management presents a fresh and innovative course of study that emphasizes the interrelationships between these realms. It weaves the use of analytical tools with a case study approach to address the key issues that define the future welfare of our global environment and the manner by which resources are utilized.

SERM integrates a strong and balanced technical program with policy and legal perspectives. It reflects the impacts and potential of globalization through examples drawn from environmental issues across the Euro-Mediterranean region and, indeed, throughout the world.
