Overview

About the programme

Economists at The Open University UK apply their diverse expertise to understand how economic decisions can have a net positive effect on the environment, and how environmental strategies affect the economy.

Our interests on Economics of the Environment and Climate Change cover the full circle between natural resource extraction, supply chains, consumption and waste and pollution, as well as the role of individuals, private initiatives, innovation and public policy.

We welcome proposals from all fields interested in researching issues across the environmental sustainability spectrum, like climate mitigation and adaptation, energy, landscape regeneration, water management, biodiversity, pollution and health, food systems, or environmental justice.
