Climate change and the environment

Major in Global Studies, minor in Environmental Management

Greta – Climate change policy specialist

Greta wants to understand how climate change has been impacting the Pacific. She plans to work in the field of environmental management, helping smaller communities through not-for-profit organisations (NPOs) or local governments in that region.

She also wants to learn te reo Māori, and that will be beneficial for her line of work.
