Provides a foundation for understanding the origins of and solutions to environmental problems from an economics perspective. Many environmental problems are caused by economic activity (e.g., carbon emissions, overharvesting renewable resources) and have differentiated effects on diverse populations (e.g., the global poor are more vulnerable to climate change, air pollution disproportionately affects minority communities). Solutions to these problems often involve policies that steer economic activity towards effective and equitable environmental protection. This course examines various policy approaches and the unequal burden of both environmental problems and their proposed solutions.
