Content
The objective of this course is to introduce the multidisciplinary field of Ecological Economics and to analyze a series of related concepts, methods and analytical principles. This field emerged from the will to initiate a dialogue across all the disciplines concerned by the intertwining of economic and ecological issues, including their social implications. The core principles of Ecological Economics can be related to the concept of sustainable development in its two-fold requirement of inter and intra-generational equity; a view of the economy as a sub-system of a broader ecosystem that imposes physical limits to its development; a methodological approach that builds on indicators expressed in physical terms (matter, energy, etc.) and on complex system analysis.
