Ever wonder how governments and organizations decide whether an environmental project is worth doing? Join us for an engaging introduction to Benefit-Cost Analysis, where you'll learn the practical steps for evaluating projects - from saving endangered species to building green infrastructure - and discover how economics can help make better decisions for society and the environment.
The NIU Department of Economics and the Institute for the Study of the Environment, Sustainability, and Energy invite you to an introductory Benefit-Cost Analysis (BCA) Workshop on November 13 and 14, featuring environmental economist Dr. Allen Bellas from Metro State University. Co-sponsors of the event include the Northern Illinois Center for Community Sustainability (NICCS) and the School of Public and Global Affairs, and will be hosted by 71 North Innovation Partnership Studio.
