The course will cover main topics related to environmental issues and climate change. It will introduce key concepts, methods and models to analyze environmental problems, as well as optimal exploitation/conservation of natural resources. Students will be able to apply these models and methods to current policy questions, such as carbon pricing, tradable emissions permits, sustainable development, climate agreements, overfishing, etc. The course material will be presented in a lecture and supplemented by practical exercises and case studies. Case studies will be presented by groups of 3-4 students.

The final grade is composed of the results from the final exam (40%), case-study presentation (30%), mid-term exam (30%).
