Cíle předmětu
The main aim of the course is to acquaint students with the economic aspects of creation and protection of the life environment. In this regard, the first part of the course deals with the description of global environmental problems and the underlying causes of market failure in the area of environmental goods and the possibilities of solutions with an emphasis on environmental policies and institutional structures. The second part focuses on the natural bases of the life environment in interaction with the building of so-called ecological infrastructure (especially territorial systems of ecological stability) and the development and quality of its main components (landscape, waste, air and water). The third block then deals with applications of ecological approaches in real economics. Students acquire basic knowledge about the concept of "green economy" and its main tools as well as information concerning of selected examples of application (energy, tourism).
