授業の概要と方法

This course provides fundamental knowledge of environmental and ecological economics as an application of microeconomics. In addition to the applied economics, we are going to discuss sustainability in inter- and trans-disciplinary sciences. I do not assume that students should have any ex-ante knowledge of sustainability science, but students should be interested in issues on sustainability. Some local and global environmental issues will be discussed on the basis of ecological economics and sustainability sciences in terms of planetary boundaries: climate change, stratospheric ozone depletion, atmospheric aerosol loading, ocean acidification, biochemical flows, freshwater use, land-system change, and biodiversity loss. Lectures on essential notions, theories, and case studies with data are provided with class discussions. In this course, students will be able to understand fundamental notions and mechanisms of environmental problems, and think of their own opinions and ideas for improving our current world in terms of sustainability.　

受講生の到達目標

(1) understand fundamental microeconomics in the context of environmental studies and sustainability.
