| Kursets målsætning | |||||||||||||||||
| Assuming that the participants already have a comprehensive understanding of environmental and natural resource economics, it is the objective of this course to provide opportunities to apply this knowledge to specific environmental and natural resource policy problems. In addition, the course will offer students insights into the political decision-making process leading to the choice of environmental policy instruments. | |||||||||||||||||
| Kursusindhold | |||||||||||||||||
| There is an increasing emphasis on the use of economic instruments in environmental policy making. Likewise, economic valuation and cost-benefit analysis are becoming integrated in the assessment of nature policy programmes and projects. The course will provide in depth presentations of the theoretical aspects of essential environmental policy and management issues. Particular emphasis will be placed on policy/project appraisal and implementation techniques. This will include economic valuation methods, cost-benefit analysis, environmental dispute resolution, environmental management systems and natural conservancy management. Through project work, students will be familiarized with applied analysis of environmental problems. Project work can be based on a range of cases related to environmental and natural resource management issues, such as: the use of economic instrument to control non-point sources of pollution (e.g. nitrogen fertilizer and pesticides); regulation of international environmental problems; economic valuation and cost-benefit analysis of environmental projects; development and marketing of green products; transfer of environmental technology to developing countries; etc. | |||||||||||||||||
