Welcome to Warwick, I hope that you will enjoy the year ahead and make the most of the opportunities that the School of Life Sciences and the University of Warwick have to offer. I am looking forward to meeting you as course leader of the MSc Environmental Bioscience in a Changing Climate. The year 2021 has been dominated by so many environmental issues and events that have reemphasised that the global changes that we are witnessing require our urgent attention and action. There has never been a more pressing time for studying environmental bioscience and for becoming part of the next generation to address the wide range of sustainability issues that need to be addressed.
