A place to discuss anything related to the concept, discipline, and philosophy of ecological economics.

Interested in Ecological Economics but dont know what it is or where to start? While there are of course disagreements about the details between those who study EE, a good overview can be found here: an introduction to EE by Ecological Economics for All. It is a good source to learn a bit about what makes Ecological Economics different from traditional economic models!

Not strictly EE but an interesting case study on the potential of implementing circular economics.

Just wanted to create this community for anyone interested in Ecological Economics. I have no idea if anyone will ever subscribe to such a niche topic but I find it fascinating and hopefully others do too!

If anyone is generally interested in ecology, sustainability, environmental science, economics, etc. but isnt familiar with EE Ive placed a link on the sidebar that does a decent job explaining the core ideas.

Its far from a settled field and theres still a lot of debate among those familiar. Looking forward to seeing what people post (assuming people find this place of course!).
