Learning outcomes
|
The aim of the course is to clarify the broader theoretical and practical context of the relationship between economics, economic systems and the Earth's environment. Ecological economics represents a new transdisciplinary approach, a new economic-ecological paradigm closely related to the philosophy of sustainable development.
The course will allow to understand the economic and ecological style of thinking, telling about a specific approach to reality - their similarities and differences. It will provide knowledge for decision-making in a globalized world with regard to the thermodynamic nature of life and the need to maintain the living conditions of the Earth, using economic instruments and valuation of natural resources
