Resource & Environmental Economics

Marbek applies complex research, technical expertise and rigorous analysis to solve a variety of natural resource and environmental economic challenges. We combine our in-depth understanding of Canadian and international environmental policy issues with a broad range of analytical capabilities to bridge economic theory and practical application

We apply this expertise across a number of themes, including:

• Climate change mitigation and adaptation
• Environmental management such as air and water issues
• Energy use and management
• Transportation
• Land use and land-use change
• Economic development

By integrating economic analysis with disciplines such as environmental engineering, chemical engineering, water management and risk assessment, we help public, private and non-governmental sector clients to:

• Evaluate the socio-economic effects of environmental policies, programs, and projects
• Assess the market and non-market values of natural resources
• Develop analytical tools that support policies for managing natural resources
• Develop economic instruments for natural resource management

Examples:

• Economics of Canadian Water Conservation & Quality
• Economic Valuation of Technology Fund Clean Air Portfolio
• Economic Impacts of Climate Change in Canada
