Inhalt: In this course, students will critically assess 1) The current state of biodiversity loss and biological understandings of biodiversity, from genes to ecosystems 2) The changing way that economics has conceptualised the natural environment and its relation to human well-being 3) How economic theories seek to explain the loss of biodiversity and 4) How economics seeks to value and manage biodiversity, including the use of the ecosystem services concept. To this end, students in this course will learn concepts from ecological, environmental and resource economics, and integrate them/relate them to concepts from ecology, to gain an overview of theecological-economic understanding of biodiversity and ecosystem services.
