Environmental Economics

The subject of environmental economics has become an important focus of debate around the world, with experts as well as ordinary citizens concluding that the environment and the economy can no longer be viewed as separate entities. As a result, contemporary environmental issues are increasingly seen from the point of view of their economics effects and their consequences for human well-being now and in the future.
