About this programme

Environmental and Resource Economics addresses many interesting and pressing questions which are waiting to be solved: How to use the limited amount of resources available in a sustainable and optimal way? How can we protect our environment without giving up the standard of living we have? What instruments are best suited to achieve, e.g. climate protection or a transition to renewable energy? What value do we assign to environmental goods and services? Analysing those problems and finding answers to those questions requires strong methodological knowledge, which you will learn and expand upon in this programme.
