Author/s: Gary Skinner, Ken Crafer, Melissa Turner, Ann Skinner and John Stacey

Format: Print + Digital

This print and digital coursebook contains a wide variety of activities, case studies and formative assessment opportunities.

It supports learners as they develop both a broad and localised knowledge of environmental issues from plastic pollution to fracking, and to employ scientific methods to evaluate management strategies such as national parks and reserves, seed banks and ecotourism.

Learners will also discover the significance of climate change and develop their field work skills, helping them to hypothesise, record and analyse data, and form conclusions based on their findings. They will further learn how to follow sustainable practice and take care of habitats and organisms during practical investigations.

This coursebook is suitable for supporting learners through the Cambridge IGCSE™ and O Level Environmental Management syllabuses (0680/5014) for examination from 2027. Answers are available to teachers and learners via Cambridge GO.
