Objectives and Contextualisation
The objective of the subject is twofold: on the one hand, to understand the basic concepts of ecological economics that should allow us, on the other, to understand human systems as systems open to the input of energy and materials, and to the output of waste. That is, the biophysical functioning of economies is studied, what is known as "societal metabolism" and the role that natural resources play in maintaining the economic system.
The course also studies sustainable development and its evolution over time, with concepts such as eco-efficiency and the circular economy. The laws of thermodynamics and their importance in economics will be discussed, as well as complexity, systems theory and hierarchy theory, and their applications to economic systems. The exosomatic evolution of societies, the circular economy and degrowth will be discussed.
At the end of the course the student will have a clearer idea of:
i) The basic concepts of ecological economics and its use in environmental sciences;
ii) The basic literature of the methods and concepts presented;
iii) The relationship between the economic process of human systems and the earth system, as well as the different approaches used to analyze this interaction

Classes will focus on exposing the conceptual bases and foundations of ecological economics, as well as discussing its applicability in the current context. Current phenomena regarding the use of energy and materials at a national and global level will be analyzed, as well as the impacts on both nature and distributive justice.
For each class, students must have read the mandatory bibliography for each session and will raise any doubts they have with the teacher.
The multidisciplinary approach of ecological economics requires from the student a strong degree of autonomous work that must consist of recommended readings, in addition to the mandatory ones, and in the discussion, with the teacher and in the classroom, of the concepts and analytical methods learned.
Annotation: Within the schedule set by the centre or degree programme, 15 minutes of one class will be reserved for students to evaluate their lecturers and their courses or modules through questionnaires.

CONTINUOUS EVALUATION
The continuous evaluation of the subject will consist of:
- 2 partial knowledge exams that may combine multiple choice and thematic questions and that will count for 35% of the final grade each.
- A written assignment, which will count 30% of the final grade.
SINGLE EVALUATION
Students who take the Single Evaluation for this subject must take a single exam on the day indicated in the calendar, and will also hand in their individual work that day. The final grade will be calculated following the following weighting: 70% of the exam, and 30% of the written assignment.
RETAKE
If the student fails the subject, whether it is the continuous evaluation or the single evaluation, they have another opportunity to pass the subject through the retake exam that will be held on the date set by the coordination of the degree. In this test, 70% of the grade can be recovered, corresponding to theory and seminars. Written assignments will not be recoverable. If a minimum grade of 3 is exceeded, this grade will be averaged with the grade obtained in the written assignment, taking into account the weighting of 70% for the exam and 30% for the written assignment.
