Unique combination

The combination of environmental technology, environmental psychology and community planning is unique in Swedish institutions of higher education.

• Environmental technology – this concerns learning about new technology and its environmental capabilities within, for example, fields such as buildings, water, waste management, energy and transport.
• Environmental psychology – necessary to be able to understand and critically examine how individuals act, as citizens and consumers, but also as decision makers in businesses and organisations.
• Community planning –how we plan our society and create prerequisites for sustainability in everyday life, based on the need for material, energy and transport.

Together these insights reveal the consequences of different strategies in the effort towards less environmental impact and sustainable development.
