Teaching

The unit’s staff offers courses on the economic assessment of climate change and land use to graduate students of geosciences and economics.

Our main lectures are integrated in the curriculum of the School of Integrated Climate System Sciences. Our introductory courses are open to students from all disciplines.

We offer and contribute to special courses on concepts and methods for the integrated assessment of sustainable development. We regularly contribute to public lectures and seminars.
