Town and Gown Seminar Series

The Department of Economics and Development Studies collaborates with the Centre for Economic Policy and Development Research (CEPDeR) to bring another seminar series. This seminar is themed “Internalising Externalities as a Sustainability Strategy“.

The theme seeks to examine approaches to incorporating externalities in decision-making at the firm level. The most dominant externality in the 21st Century is the issue of GreenHouse Gases (GHG).
