Throughout the world people are faced with an ever widening
range of serious environmental issues such as resource
depletion, pollution of air and water, and global warming.
Decisions made now will have implications on the sustainability of the
natural environment and on economic, social and cultural development.
More and more companies are choosing to operate sustainably and
minimise their environmental effects, increasing the demand for qualifi ed
people. Lincoln University’s Bachelor of Environmental Management and
Planning (BEMP) graduates are in high demand with many opportunities for
employment in areas such as policy development, planning, and
impact assessment.
Raised environmental awareness and demand for greener production have
increased employment opportunities in non-environmental industries, such
as the manufacturing sector, particularly for graduates with environmental
management systems skills. Public and political interest in environmental
issues, along with increased media coverage, is also creating more
opportunities for environmental management related employment.
Excellent examples are current concerns over water allocation and global
climate change.
