Environmental Economics & Policy Short Course in Sweden

Sweden is a very ambitious, eco-friendly, and visionary country. For example, by 2040, it aims to produce all its energy from renewable sources. Universities play an important role in achieving development goals, thanks to their world-class research facilities. If you’re from the EU/EEA, you can study at public universities for free. As a student, you will discover and easily adopt the three main values of Swedish society: freedom, equality, and sustainability. These values are reflected in every aspect of the local society, and you’ll quickly learn to appreciate them. Language barriers are also almost non-existent since around 80% of Swedes speak English.

Environmental Economics degrees offered by universities and colleges worldwide teach students ways in which limited natural resources can be exploited and distributed for economic gain in a sustainable way that does not damage the environment. Students learn to advocate for Environmental policies and evaluate the costs and benefits of measures regarding water quality, clean air, waste management, and climate change.
