Teil 1 und 2: Environmental values and valuation (Lecture), WiSe 2022/23, Exact dates and times are still to be determined
The value of the environment and environmental valuation are threads that appear increasingly often in discussions on environmental management and even environmental protection. On the one hand, these concepts follow the trend related to the domination of economic discourse in various areas of knowledge and social life, as well as neoliberal tendencies in politics in many countries. On the other hand, there are numerous controversies, especially ethical ones, but also related to methodological issues. In this situation, it is worth knowing what valuation methods are available, and which wider approaches to valuation exist.
