課程目標在引導學生瞭解環境經濟學的基礎與理論，使學生在面對環境相關議題時，譬如全球氣候變遷、空氣污染、水污染與廢棄物管理，能夠利用經濟學的成本效益分析方法，分析環境汙染防治的社會效益與成本，訂定適當的環境保護政策，包含命令管制、排放費和排放權交易制度等，以追求環境永續發展。

The course objectives guide students to understand the basic and theoretical discussions of environmental economics, so that students can use economic cost-benefit analysis methods to analyze the social benefits and costs of environmental pollution prevention and control, and set appropriate environmental protection policies, including order control, emissions and emission rights trading systems, etc., in order to pursue the sustainable development of the environment.
