Our BSc degree in Economics and Climate Change at Aberystwyth University will set you on the rewarding journey of having a positive impact on the world and prepare you to become a leader in the fight against climate change.

Why study Economics and Climate Change at Aberystwyth University?

Through the study of economics, you will gain an understanding of the failures of ‘conventional’ markets to effectively tackle climate change. Drawing on sub-disciplines of environmental and ecological economics, you will develop an appreciation of how local, national and international policies can be developed to provide incentives such as carbon trading schemes and taxes aimed at reducing emissions.

You will combine a knowledge of the science underpinning climate change with a wide range of economic tools that allow you to understand and develop policies and incentives supporting the transition to a carbon neutral economy. You will explore creative ways in which policies can be developed to respond to the challenge and opportunities of the current climate crisis. It will also equip you with relevant subject-specific knowledge alongside the interdisciplinary, interpersonal skills and attributes needed to create a more just and sustainable world.
