Climate change and energy solutions are critical challenges for society. The B.Econ. Honours Concentration in Natural Resources, Environment, and Economy offers a comprehensive education in the economics, geography, and politics of these issues. Students gain expertise in energy and environmental economics, policy solutions, and advanced quantitative skills for independent research.
Typically completed in the last three years of a four-year program, this concentration combines specialized courses from Economics, Geography, and Political Science. It’s ideal for students interested in environmental issues and pursuing careers in business, government, education, law, or non-profits.
Students can enhance their training in quantitative methods by combining this concentration with the B.Econ. Honours Concentration in Economic Data Science, or with concentrations in Development or International Political Economy, broadening their understanding of energy and environmental issues across social sciences. These combinations equip students with valuable skills sought by employers.
