Curriculum | Lectures

In Asia and Africa, there are a myriad of environmental problems such as water contamination, air pollution, deforestation, soil depletion, ecosystem disturbance, and so on.  The FOLENS program offers a series of lectures in different disciplines of both natural and social sciences to foster a comprehensive understanding of such environmental issues.

Natural science lectures address both agricultural and technological domains to provide a comprehensive approach and divided into two categories.  Lectures in the Environmental Sciences category focus on the knowledge and skills for scientifically understanding environmental issues and managing the environment in a sustainable way.  Lectures in the Green Technologies category address the systems and technologies to be used for environmental reclamation and conservation and to promote environmentally friendly industries.

Social science lectures analyze the socio-economic status and background of environmental issues including a history of international cooperation in Asia and Africa as a basis for locally appropriate and feasible environmental measures.

With such a comprehensive set of lectures of different disciplines, FOLENS students will obtain a broad perspective and skill sets required for leaders able to appropriately understand the situation and to design effective environmental policies.
