About EcoEconomics Academy
EcoEconomics Academy is a specialist learning provider focused on economics for sustainability. We design practical courses that combine rigorous economic thinking with real-world environmental and social challenges. Our mission is to help professionals, policymakers, and community leaders apply economic tools in ways that accelerate decarbonisation, resource efficiency, and resilient local economies. We emphasise applied learning: case studies, scenario analysis, and collaborative projects that translate theory into measurable outcomes. Our participants report improved decision-making, clearer funding strategies, and the confidence to design policies and investments that align with long-term planetary and social goals.
Our Approach
Our approach blends economic analysis with systems thinking to address environmental limits and social priorities. We teach core microeconomic and macroeconomic concepts, then place them in sustainability contexts such as circular value chains, carbon pricing, and climate risk assessment. Each learning pathway integrates evidence-based policy design, stakeholder engagement, and impact measurement so that learners can build implementable strategies rather than only theoretical models. Practical exercises use open data and applied tools, ensuring participants can immediately integrate new methods into their work. We prioritise transparency, reproducibility, and the use of appropriate metrics so learners can evaluate trade-offs and design interventions that deliver measurable social and environmental co-benefits. Cohorts are intentionally small to provide mentorship and active feedback, supporting professional development and peer network formation across sectors.
Team & Credentials
Our team includes former policy advisors, environmental economists, and impact investors who combine academic research with practical delivery. Lead instructors have experience in government finance ministries, multilateral organisations, and private-sector climate teams. Course design is peer-reviewed and updated annually to reflect emerging evidence, regulatory changes, and new finance instruments. We also work with industry partners to provide project briefs and guest sessions, giving learners exposure to real-world constraints and stakeholder perspectives. In addition to instructor qualifications, we offer post-course mentoring and optional portfolio review for professionals seeking career transition or advancement in green finance and sustainability strategy. Our certificates are recognised by partner organisations and can be combined with CPD credits for eligible participants.
