Course description

This course provides an advanced level analysis of the issues that characterise environmental markets. Five types of markets are examined: (1) Trading systems that allow participants to determine the most cost-effective and efficient manner to achieve a targeted environmental objective (e.g. emissions trading); (2) Investment schemes that attract, and often manage, investments that have some type of credentials for making positive contributions towards the management of environmental problems (e.g. ethical investment schemes); (3) Markets that feature certification schemes that have credentials for making positive contributions towards tha management of environmental problems (e.g. markets for certified organic food); (4) Markets that feature products that serve as alternatives to products that are environmentally problematic (e.g. biofuel); and (5) Markets that feature products and services that directly work to ameliorate and/or reduce risks associated with environmental problems (e.g. waste management services).
