Learn At India’s First Environment & Sustainability School : JSES

The Jindal School of Environment & Sustainability (JSES) is working to lead the world towards a sustainable future with innovative teaching, practice-based learning and impact-driven research. The world today is facing an increasing array of environmental challenges that require greater levels of innovation and collaboration among industry, government, academics and communities. The ongoing environmental crises comes with research and human resource lacunae at various levels. JSES aims to fill these gaps by combining environment & sustainability studies with applied research, public advocacy and capacity building. The primary goal of JSES is to offer students a concentration in environment and sustainability studies with opportunities to explore how humans interact with the environment, including physical, biological, economic, philosophical, social and legal elements.

 

JSES has now opened admissions to the innovative, multidisciplinary and engagement-driven B.A. (Hons.) Environment & Sustainable Development and B.Sc. (Hons.) Environment & Sustainable Development programmes.

The fully residential BSESD degree programme provides multiple perspectives empowering students to address challenging environment and sustainability issues in an interactive classroom environment. Besides deep-diving theoretical frameworks, principles, concepts and applicationbased engagement in the domain of environmental and sustainable development, the programme comprises class-room discussions, lab research, field visits, case studies, industry internships, live projects and unique pedagogical approaches aimed at enhancing interaction, practical learning and curiosity among the students.

In the near future, JSES aims to offer online postgraduate and executive degree programmes in Environment and Sustainability. Some of these post-graduate programmes are likely to be offered in collaboration with top-ranked overseas universities.

Dean's Message

The dark shadows of Environmental degradation and climate change are looming large on our civilization. At The United Nations Climate Change Conference 2021 (COP26), Glasgow, nations have committed to reducing 2.2 gigatonnes reduction of carbon dioxide while India is committed to achieving net zero carbon emission targets by 2070. This indicates the world's policy‐level focus on combating environmental challenges through sustainable solutions. This results in a domain expertise vacuum where corporations, organizations, policymakers and implementers require skilled personnel in the field of 'Environment and Sustainable development'.
