Post Graduate Diploma/Executive Diploma in Environmental Studies and Resources Management

IGMPI

Climate change has impacted every dimension of human life creating havoc through flash floods, earthquakes and wildfires to name a few. It has become increasingly apparent that a new task force is needed to meet competencies for tackling climate change and global emissions targets. The need for a science based upskilling is clear as modern environmental problems impact governments and industrial sector alike. IGMPI has launched a PG Diploma/Executive Diploma course in Environmental Studies and Resource management for the benefit of experienced professionals and newcomers to the industrial sector. This diploma course trains individuals to assume and lead managerial positions in the impact sector – particularly climate protection interfacing strategy, scientific communication and project management. Environmental Sciences encompass a broad range of jobs, including those with a focus on natural/physical sciences as well as social sciences and humanities.

A focus on environmental studies is crucial to strategies the available natural resource and their sustainable utilization. Through a myriad of case studies throughout the course, students will be able to identify the pain areas in natural resource management along with identifying suitable management and conservation strategies in an organization. They will be able to communicate important milestones and proceeding in workshops, conferences and seminars. Finally, they would be instrumental in policy research teams and public-private advisories on environmental management.
