This course will provide the necessary foundations in Microeconomics and Behavioural Economics to understand potential mitigation and adaptation strategies addressing environmental change and climate emergency. It will start by discussing alternative mechanisms to efficiently manage common-pool resources and public goods, and continue by unraveling the role of incentives and behavioural policies within the environmental policy framework. It will also identify behavioural and micro-economic drivers that can potentially hinder climate action. By employing academic and practical examples, case studies and quantitative analyses it will provide a comprehensive approach to cover key issues and challenges.
