Explore the intersection of economics and sustainability. Learn how economic principles can be adapted to address environmental challenges, climate change, resource management, and social equity. Perfect for students, policymakers, and anyone interested in building a sustainable future.
Sustainable Economics examines how economic thinking must evolve to address the realities of climate change, finite natural resources, and growing social inequality. This free intermediate course takes you from foundational economic principles through the limits of traditional GDP-focused models, then into environmental economics, climate change economics, and the circular economy, giving you a connected framework rather than isolated facts.
Across ten modules you will explore how environmental costs get priced into markets, how policy tools such as carbon pricing and regulatory standards shape business decisions, and how green innovation is creating new competitive opportunities. You will also examine social dimensions of sustainability and the metrics beyond GDP that governments and organisations use to measure genuine progress.
This course suits students studying economics, business, or environmental science, as well as professionals in policy, finance, or corporate sustainability who want a rigorous grounding in how economic systems can be redesigned for long-term resilience. No specialist background is required beyond a general comfort with intermediate-level concepts. Complete the course and pass the final exam to earn a certificate of completion you can add to your LinkedIn profile or resume.
