Environmental and energy economic models are used to address very diverse questions and range from rather simple to highly sophisticated approaches.

Where would you see possible applications in your work or education, and what prior experience (if any) do you have with (economic) modelling?

Do you agree that mathematical models are a good tool to explore possible futures?

Take time to consider these questions. We suggest that you make a note of your answers. This way you can come back to them during the course and think about whether you would answer differently at a later point. This also makes your learning progress evident.
