We live in a time of large-scale challenges, where climate change, deforestation, biodiversity loss and ocean acidification are no longer only considered from an environmental perspective, but also in terms of social justice, economic development, technological adaptation, and political will. The survival of our growing population depends on the natural resources we continue to overexploit, but there is increasing awareness on how the concept of sustainability strives to address this. By understanding how our environment, economy and society interact, with technological innovation and the education of both the public and decision makers, we can maintain the health of our planet for the benefit of current and future generations.

Singapore aims to equip its workers with relevant skills so they can benefit from the green economy as the nation pursues its sustainability goals. To ensure NTU students have the knowledge and skills to embark on these emergent opportunities, the Second Major in Sustainability is offered to NTU students in single degree programmes.
