Description

This course builds on the introduction to EISs in CVEN1701 to provide details of EIS methods, and the ISO14001 Environmental Management System framework. It then provides an introduction to engineers on environmental law in Australia and NSW, focusing on planning law, and pollution laws. Environmental economics methods to account for environmental impacts in monetary terms, and the use of market mechanisms to achieve preferred environmental outcomes is covered at a level suitable for engineers.
