The course provides basic knowledge of the environment and basic connections in the environment. The course characterizes the most important abiotic and biotic components and the relationships between them. A significant part of the course deals with the human condition and its role in the global ecosystem. Anthropogenic impacts are primarily described by current global problems, including ways to address them at the local level, as well as with environmental policy or direct cooperation between economy and ecology.
