Overview

How can alternative economic thinking, and indeed thinking from quite different social scientific disciplines, enhance the mainstream economic approach to environmental and natural resource problems? Tutor Dr Jane Corbett will introduce you to how our economic system works, and factors driving climate change. The session will involve reviewing current economic policy approaches to climate change, and promote constructive thinking about what types of actions are necessary.

This course is to be delivered by Jane Corbett, and held from 10am-5pm on the 27 April 2013 at Rewley House, Wellington Square, Oxford.

We plan to offer a course on this theme again in 2013-14. To flag your interest, please email envcon@conted.ox.ac.uk.
