The Department of Environment & Sustainability at Binghamton University helps foster an understanding of the relationships of humans with the environment.

Critical issues facing our society today—from global warming to species extinction, water contamination to soil erosion—are environmental in nature. Finding solutions to these problems will require interdisciplinary efforts that bridge traditional academic fields such as political science and ecology. The Environmental Studies Program at Binghamton is designed to foster an understanding of the relationships of humans with the environment. The premise of environmental studies is that effective environmental policy must be based on a solid understanding of science and that scientists working on environmental problems must understand the policy and economic framework in which their science will be applied. The Environmental Studies Program at Binghamton University is for everyone interested in learning more about environmental law and policy, or about how ecosystems work in the context of human intervention, or about how costs and benefits can be calculated, or about how groundwater gets contaminated and what we can do about it.
