The PhD ED program will cover in-depth analyses of the global environmental system, theoretical, analytical, research methodological, and ethical foundations of environmental diplomacy and negotiations for global environmental issues, international environmental policies and institutions, and environmental conflict resolution and management.
It is specially designed to develop competent environmental leaders, scholars, and professionals in the region who can advance evidence-based information into local, national, and foreign policies and relations to advance the interest of the environment.
The PhD ED program will be offered by UPLB beginning first semester of School Year 2023-24
