Question

Definition scope and importance of environmental science

Answer 1

For the last four decades, several environmental problems—such as pollution, global warming, ozone layer depletion, acid rain, deforestation, and desertification—have remained a major focus of scientists, policy makers, and common public across the world. These problems are perceived as the major threats to the life-supporting environment of the earth, thus making our survival on the planet increasingly unsafe. In order to tackle these challenges, holistic knowledge about working of our life-supporting environment and thorough understanding of the dynamics of these problems become imperative. Since no other academic discipline covers the above two knowledge requirements completely, environmental science evolved as an academic discipline to fill in this gap. Our life-supporting environment and various environmental problems are highly complex and require interdisciplinary efforts to understand them.
