Environmental economics studies the interplay between the economy and its natural environment, seeks to identify problems with the usage and evaluation of natural resources and to propose solutions aiming at sustainable growth and development. Mitigating and adapting to climate change, developing and adopting renewable sources of energy and ensuring that the industrialization and growth of developing countries does not exacerbate environmental and health risks are some of the greatest challenges of our society. Researchers at Labex MME-DII contribute to these issues from several different angles, by developing statistical tools which can help understand and predict climate changes and the associated environmental risks, by developing models of growth which integrate environmental quality and natural resources and by analyzing the impact and acceptance of environmental policies and regulations.
