See CRICOS-registered alternativesHow can economics help solve the sustainability challenges of the 21st century? Which economic approaches can protect the natural environment and maximise human welfare now and in the future? In this subject, we will combine a critical analysis of the conceptual framework and tools of mainstream economics with an exploration of alternative economic approaches that emphasise the embeddedness of economic activity within ecosystems and the limits these systems impose on economic activity. By looking to approaches outside of mainstream economics, we will challenge the dominance of economic decision-making that relies on efficiency-driven, market-based frameworks and broaden our range of solutions for tackling sustainability problems.
