Course Overview

The Environmental Economics certification is designed with an overview to learn about each and every aspect of the environment. This course is trained to prepare environmental economics to trace the origins, source material, essence, and range of environmental economics and main environmental problems and concerns. The goal of the Environmental Economics certification course is to provide the participants with a solid grasp of the costs of environmental climate and social destruction, a sustainable research agenda to environmental degradation, sustainable construction approaches, green accounting, environmental evaluation strategies, and environmental issues.

Environmental economics is a field in philosophy that reflects on the socioeconomic consequences of environmental policies and programmes whereas science works on natural capital and effective allocation, management including substitutes, conservation policy and environmental degradation such as air emissions, groundwater land degradation, waste management and climate change, etc.

The framework of Environmental Economics training we are creating brings exposure to several of the main connections between the economy, the atmosphere and the differing significance that the environmental economics field applies to these relations. This is a fascinating field of economics to study, and it is at the centre of numerous policy discussions and scandals.
