Title

Financial Foundations for Environmental Managers

Course Description

An introductory finance course covering a broad range of topics with the goal of creating a financial conversation relevant to environmental management, financial comprehension and fluency. Closely related to the field of economics, finance entails the study and practice of asset pricing, money flows and the financial markets. From an applied perspective, it provides the means to understand pricing and the valuation of future cash flows, and comprises a critical underpinning of both professional and personal management. Financial decision-making fields of practice e.g. accounting, budgeting, and investing are cornerstones of modern society and have tremendous environmental implications.
