Economic Decision-Making for Sustainability

Catalog description

Economic decisions shape the places we live, work, and care about. In this course, you'll use economic concepts to understand and tackle real-world issues like climate and land use change, pollution, housing, workforce development, health disparities, and sustainability. You'll apply tools like economic policy analysis, benefit-cost analysis and resource damage assessment to analyze policies and projects tied to sustainability, such as the UN Sustainable Development Goals, and opportunities and challenges faced by nonprofits, local governments, and CSR practitioners.
