What Is Environmental Economics? Environmental economics is the study of the cost-effective allocation, use, and protection of the world’s natural resources. Economics, broadly speaking, is the study of how humans produce and consume goods and services. It is a sub-field of economics concerned with environmental issues. It has become a widely studied subject due to growing environmental concerns in the twenty-first century.
What is Sustainable Development? Sustainable development is defined as development which meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs.
The drive for economic growth has resulted in problems such as environmental degradation and social disparities. Sustainable development aims for a more balanced approach to growth which progresses development across the three pillars of social inclusion, environmental sustainability and economic prosperity.
