Introduction to Environmental Science

Environmental science is an interdisciplinary field that studies the natural world and human impact on it.

The city of Copenhagen is known for its green initiatives, including a goal to be carbon neutral by 2025. This involves environmental science, which is the study of the natural world and human impact on it.

Environmental science is an interdisciplinary field, meaning it draws on knowledge from biology, chemistry, physics, and social sciences to understand the complex relationships between human systems and the natural environment.

By combining insights from these different fields, environmental scientists can develop a more complete understanding of the world and identify solutions to environmental problems.
