Geography is about places and people. It explores how people’s lives vary in these different places, and how our own lives are dependent on people and places, near and far.
An ability to link environmental processes and social and spatial behaviours is a defining feature of geographical practice. As a result, geography is clearly important in understanding today’s pressing global and local issues including climate change, inequality, migration, poverty alleviation, and sustainable development.
