Fundamentals of Environmental Economics

Fundamentals of Environmental Economics is designed to familiarize middle and high school teachers and curriculum specialists with a non-biased approach that introduces the basics of environmental economics and provides effective simulations to introduce the concepts into the classroom. This program will cover classroom-tested activities, various interactive lectures, and case studies focusing on water use policies, a global spending simulation, tragedy of the commons, and much more.
