From 26 July to 6 August 2010, the International Carbon Action Partnership will convene the second ICAP Summer School on Emissions Trading for Emerging and Developing countries in The Hague, Netherlands.
This MSc in Environmental Finance develops the knowledge and analytical skills needed to equip students for a successful career in the financial and environmental sector with emphasis on the link between them, at the company, national or international policy level and related areas.
One of the most pressing challenges facing our society is that of anthropogenic climate change. Understanding our climate system depends crucially on reconstructions of past environments, making palaeoclimatology central to our environmental predictions. This course looks back at how our environment has changed and how geologists are able to chart its history.
The rate and complexity of environmental change poses profound economic and political challenges for contemporary society. Developing ways of addressing these challenges will demand intellectual rigour, innovation and flexibility, as well as the capacity to think across existing disciplinary boundaries.

There is a growing recognition in both public and private spheres of the need for greater environmental protection. But how do broad concerns lead to specific policies or plans, and how do these shape behaviour on the ground?
The Institute of Atmospheric and Environmental Science is part of the School of GeoSciences at the University of Edinburgh. It was formed by the merger of the former Department of Meteorology with the Institute of Ecology and Resource Management on 1 August 2003.
Emissions trading is one of the prime examples of using a market-based mechanism to achieve an environmental goal. The rationale behind emission trading is to ensure that the required overall emission reductions take place where the cost of the reduction is lowest, thus lowering the overall costs of combating climate change.
The European Association of Environmental and Resource Economists (EAERE) is an international scientific association which aims are to contribute to the development and application of environmental and resource economics as a science in Europe; to encourage and improve communication between teachers, researchers and students in environmental and resource economics in different European countries;
