ENERGY AND ENVIRONMENTAL ECONOMICS AND POLICYKonstantinos Pantazis (ESR15)The course Energy and Environmental Economics and Policy at Bocconi University aimed to explore the economic and policy aspects of energy and environmental issues. Its mission was to provide insights into the interplay between energy markets, environmental sustainability, and regulatory frameworks, equipping participants with the analytical tools necessary to assess and design effective policies in these domains. The mission of the course are describing bellow: "The European Union explicitly states that “since economics is about to deal with scarce resources, it can often be useful when tackling environmental problems”. This statement comes from a precise observation. The ability of the natural environment to dispose the waste of anthropogenic activities (keeping unchanged degree of regeneration) is not infinite (downstream “scarcity”). This kind of “scarcity” justifies to use the tools of the economic theory to face environmental problems. In this regard, two circumstances should be adequately emphasised. Firstly, today the most important (at least perceived) environmental problem is climate change due to the anthropogenic emissions of carbon dioxide. Secondly, more than 80% of carbon emissions are due to energy production and consumption. As a consequence, fighting climate change requires to adequately study the interaction between energy and environmental issues with the aim to understand how to mitigate global warming through (but not only) the decarbonisation of energy supply. The analysis of this interaction is the principal mission of this course." |
