The graduate program in Environment, Development and Sustainability (EDS), Chulalongkorn University is unique among post-graduate degrees in Thailand and Asia-Pacific. It provides an integrated approach to the field of Sustainable Development (environmental and socio-economic) and relevant aspects. This is in response to Thailand’s Twelfth National Economic and Social Development Plan (2017-2021) which is designed based on the 20-year National Strategy framework (2017- 2036) and the country’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) to achieve “Security, Prosperity, and Sustainability” as part of the Thailand 4.0 national policy.
In this context, instead of focusing only on environment and development studies, EDS also covers research areas such as Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and their Challenges, business and trade strategies for environmental management, self sufficiency economy, energy planning, poverty reduction, natural resource management, sustainable consumption and production, waste management, green building, and urban development in addition to core climate change mitigation, resilience and adaptation even as all ecosystem related topics like green Industry, soil degradation, biological diversity, pollution, and so on.
The EDS Program’s objective is to broaden the horizons of students to integrate their studies across various sub-disciplines in both the natural and social sciences so that their results lead to sound public policy and good governance in driving the SDGs in all national, regional and global levels.
