Environmental economics Environmental economics is a subfield of economics concerned with environmental issues (other usages of the term are not uncommon). In using standard methods of economics, it is distinguished from green economics which subsumes the nonstandard approaches to environmental problems, environmental science /environmental studies, or ecology . Quoting from the NBER Environmental Economics program: [...] Environmental Economics [...] undertakes theoretical or empirical studies of the economic effects of national or local environmental policies around the world [...]. Particular issues include the costs and benefits of alternative environmental policies to deal with air pollution, water quality, toxic substances, solid waste, and global warming. Topics and Concepts Central to environmental economics is the concept of an externality . This means that some effects of an activity are not taken into account when it is priced. Too much pollution may occur if the producer need not take the interests of those adversely affected by the pollution into account. Too little nature conservation may occur if those who undertake such activities are not rewarded in relation to the increase in the quality of life they help to bring about for the general population. One frequent externality is the Tragedy of the Commons , which occurs in connection to public goods (goods that are 'non-excludable' - open to all). An example would be a recreational area with open access to the public. Residents and visitors will use the ressource more than if they had to pay for it, leading to environmental degradation.

External links Topics and concepts Central to environmental economics is the concept of an externality . This means that some effects of an activity are not taken into account in its price . For instance, pollution in excess of the socially "optimal" level may occur if the prices a producer pays do not include the impacts (costs) experienced by those adversely affected. One frequently-noted example of an externality is Garrett Hardin's Tragedy of the Commons , which occurs in connection to public goods (goods that are " non-excludable " and " rival " - that is, they are open to all, but potentially exhaustible). Visitors to an open-access recreational area will use the resource more than if they had to pay for it, leading to environmental degradation. This of course assumes that there is no other policy instrument (for example, permits, regulation) being used to control access.

Forum Environmental Economics The cost of damaging Planet Earth Thursday, October 14, 2010 by Mo Tanweer A recent, two-year study for the United Nations Environment Programme, entitled The Economics of Ecosystems and Biodiversity (Teeb), put the damage done to the natural world by human activity in 2008 at between $2tn (£1.3tn) and $4.5tn. The loss of bio-diversity is a key element of this environmental impact. At the lower estimate, that is roughly equivalent to the entire annual economic output of the UK or Italy. In the US in 2007, for example, the cost to farmers of a collapse in the number of bees was $15bn, according to the US Department of Agriculture, contributing to a global cost of pollination services of $190bn, according to Teeb. More here from their website In 1998, flash flooding in the Yangtze River in China killed more than 4,000 people, displaced millions more and caused damage estimated at $30bn. Read more here .

Our work on Environmental Economics aims to identify and promote practical means of bringing environmental values into the market place, in ways that benefit poor people and countries. This includes evaluating the economic consequences of environmental change; finding ways to internalise environmental values in public policy and market behaviour, and to ensuring that environmental protection is both cost-effective and pro-poor.

Particular emphasis is placed on capacity strengthening through collaborative research and networking with individuals and organisations in the South.

Dissemination of Results Restoration Economics Environmental Valuation Environmental Valuation: Principles, Techniques, and Applications Figure 1. Environmental valuation topics covered on this Web page. Introduction From scenic beauty and recreational opportunities to direct inputs into the production process, environmental resources provide a complex set of values to individuals and benefits to society. Coastal areas, for example, offer scenic panoramas and radiant sunsets. Fish and other edible sea life caught in coastal areas provide a rich and nutritious source of food to consumers. Beaches are also excellent recreation areas, used for relaxation, exercise, or bird watching. These are only the direct benefits. There are also values that are not directly tied to use, such as climate modulation, physical protection, and stewardship for future generations. All of these benefits are relevant in environmental valuation. Environmental Values Use values, such as fishing and hiking, are the more direct and quantifiable category of environmental values, but they capture only a portion of the total economic value of an environmental asset. Indirect-use values, non-use values, and intrinsic values are also associated with preserving environmental resources. Total economic value is represented by the following equation:

Dissemination of Results Restoration Economics Environmental Economics An Economic View of the Environment Figure 1. Sunrise on the Coast Courtesy NOAA photo library. Figure 2. Overview of the topics discussed on this Web page. Introduction Economists are often charged with the difficult task of placing a value on environmental resources. The air we breathe and the water we drink are environmental resources that a re required to sustain life on this planet. The environment also serves as a source of pleasure to humans in viewing the sun on the horizon, admiring the tranquil beauty of a forest-ringed lake, or driving along a scenic ocean road (Figure 1). Many people argue that environmental (e.g., land, air, and water) and natural resources (e.g., coal, trees, and fish) are, in fact, priceless. Thus, they say, it is not appropriate to consider them within the context of economic valuation. However, the world's population has proven unwilling to forgo all future economic activity to eliminate all factors that cause environmental damage. Human societies are willing to give up certain environmental assets to generate other kinds of economic gains. The value placed on environmental assets is illustrated in our choices against other competing economic needs. Figure 2 shows an economic view of the environment and outlines the topics discussed below. Economic principles suggest that the well-being of a society can be measured as the sum of all the individuals' level of well-being. This well-being, or what economists call "utility," is not derived solely from purchasing and consuming goods and services, but also from things like safety, and our physical, mental, and spiritual well-being.
