We live in environmentally turbulent times where issues such as freshwater scarcity, soil and air pollution, natural disasters and depletion, biodiversity loss, and infectious diseases pose a serious danger for future generations. Climate change is one of the most significant modern threats, the solution to which requires the engagement of different social branches. Every year many students complete higher education institutions in Azerbaijan. From those, only 20% engage in environmental studies. As a result, only these graduates receive education in current environmental problems and their possible solutions. To tackle this problem, the Environmental Science course was introduced at ADA university for students from all disciplines, including policymaking, economy, technology development, and science. Since the Fall of 2017, more than 2,500 students have successfully completed the course as part of their bachelor's studies. In the scope of the program which includes both theoretical and field studies, students have visited the national reserves and parks, industry facilities, received insight into current global and local policies, and unresolved problems. The students have further developed and successfully presented their projects related to environmental health and circular economy. A number of students continued their education in the field of environmental policy diplomacy and currently work for local and international environmental organizations. The aim of this initiative is to support the transition towards a global circular economy, help address the country's pollution and deforestation issues, and preserve biodiversity through engaging youth from all areas of expertise in environmental problems of our times.
