Overview
The Environmental Economics (Online) programme from The University of Exeter will review some key environmental issues which impact the achievement of sustainable development, including climate change, pollution, waste, resource depletion, deforestation and biodiversity.
The course is for experienced professionals who have a personal interest in this area, might want a career change or use as a precursor to further higher education. You do not need prior knowledge in economics.
What will I learn?
This course will focus on the environmental aspect of the ESG metrics, by exploring key environmental issues and how addressing these issues should be incorporated into ESG-conscious business practices. By investigating into these issues, you will learn how to formulate sustainability strategies with a core focus on carbon footprint reduction, and to operationalise concepts such as “net zero”, circularity, and waste minimisation in organisational practices.
