Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The purpose of the Environmental Economic Policy Analysis is to apply various methods of policy analysis in the Environment Economics field, evaluate their strengths and weaknesses, and apply them to better understand the implications of various decision options to manage environmental and natural resource challenges. The challenges of managing natural resources and environmental quality are well-recognized and becoming increasingly important in all parts of the world. Issues could arise at different scales in the site, locally, regionally, nationally, and globally. Decisions on these issues often require the balancing of competing interests with different objectives. The methods and applications of environmental policy analysis provide a basis for more informed decision making based on trade-offs.
The papers of this Special Issue should attempt to understand and use analytical frameworks that apply to a broad range of environmental issue areas and are critical for strategic environmental policy within organizations that develop, analyze, practice and evaluate environmental and natural resource management. Environmental Policy Analysis papers could include some specific environmental or natural resource problems or issues (for example, renewable energy, water resources, environmental health, forest management, wetland management, biological diversity, climate change, eco-system services, conservation, etc.). Authors are encouraged to look at other specializations to develop ideas on, for example, Energy and the Environment, Ecosystem Conservation and Management, Water Resource Management, Agriculture-Environment Trade-offs and others. The Special Issue also welcomes studies exploring new scientific insights on the field of Environmental Economic Policy that address the wider impacts of Sustainable Development. The Special Issue is open to relevant submissions from all related disciplines listed in the keywords and addresses all world regions.
