| Basic science: To lay a solid foundation by covering the most relevant topics, lines of economic thinking and model ap-proaches to analyse the implementation of environmental issues in society and economy. Applied science To enable the students to understand and classify real world environmental problems using and combining Environmental Management approaches. Furthermore they should be enabled to understand the economic basis and implications of institutional arrangements with reference to advanced topics of Environmental Management. Competences in ethics and values: The students are supposed to learn to work independentely in the sepcified field, should be able to work together with others, discuss solutions and find consensus. They should also have developed oral and written communicate skills in the subject area. Finally they should have developde a critical attitude towards the application of the learnt facts, methods and theorie | |||||||||||||||||
| Kursets målsætning | |||||||||||||||||
| The objective of this course is to provide a comprehensive introduction to the theoretical, methodological and empirical aspects of environmental management from an applied environmental economics point of view - refering to paradigms and indication of sustainable development, environmental dispute resolution, environmental management systems, industrial ecology and natural resource management. The teaching material of the lectures will be taken up and deepened in individual project work. | |||||||||||||||||
| Kursusindhold | |||||||||||||||||
| Environmental management is a collective term for a number of approaches to the implementation of environmental issues in both society and economy. In this course environmental management is viewed as a branch of applied environmental and natural resource economics. Hence the mission of environmental management is (1) to provide methods and concepts for putting environmental goals into effect, (2) to detect, formulate and communicate emerging environmental issues, and (3) to organise environmental protection and natural conservation in practice. Environmental management covers the emergence of environmental issues in the society and their evolution in preliminary stages of political processes (stakeholder approach) as well as the implementation of political deci-sions and laws afterwards (administrational project and control structures). This does also include interactions between the political system and society/economy (different dimensions and levels of sustainability). Environmental management deals explicitly with the question of how legal/administrative frameworks can be translated effectively and economically efficient in increased environmental protection as well as natural conservation projects and public health initiatives (insti-tutional economics approaches). Complementary to the environmental and resource economics´ focus on analysis, design and evaluation of environmental policies on the macro-level, environmental management focuses on the economically optimal adaptation of private individuals, social groups, firms and industries to environmental policy on the micro-level (e.g. environmental issues in strate-gic and operative management, EMAS/ISO-Certification). Participatory environmental manage-ment approaches (negotiations, moderation, mediation) particularly aim at balancing out of conflict-ing values and interests when controversial business or environmental protection project are going to be implemented. The main components of the course are: (1) Paradigms and indicators of sus-tainability and their socio-economic background, (2)Interactions of social and natural systems and their ecological economics background, (3) Institutional economics approaches to natural con-cervancy management and administration, (4) Participatory approaches to the solution of environ-mental conflicts, (5) Incentive based approaches to environmental management in firms and indus-tries. | |||||||||||||||||
