We started the second version of the "ECONOMICS AND FINANCE FOR ENVIRONMENTAL LEADERSHIP" course focused on Latin America
On April 1st, we commenced the second edition, exclusively in Spanish and 100% online, of our esteemed course 'Economics and Finance for Environmental Leadership' on our Spanish online training platform, Numbers for Nature Institute. This course is a unique opportunity for Latin American professionals, offering them economic tools with direct applicability in the field of nature conservation. These tools, including natural resource economics, cost-benefit analysis, economic valuation, economic incentives, and sustainable financing opportunities, are designed to empower professionals to contribute to designing effective conservation programs and the socio-environmental evaluation of poorly planned development projects.
The 13-week course, divided into eight modules, is aimed at professionals working in nature conservation and sustainable management of natural resources in the private sector, governmental and non-governmental agencies, academia, and grassroots organizations. The course structure allows participants to continue with their daily work and participate in the course through a combination of pre-recorded classes, online sessions with experts, updated readings, debates, and practical and interactive exercises.

This year, we have a curious and participative group of professionals from different areas, with 31 students from seven countries: Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Ecuador, Mexico, and Peru. These students show high expectations of learning, seek to be part of a network of conservation professionals, and wish to certify their knowledge in environmental economics. Participants are especially interested in the module on financial sustainability for biodiversity conservation and financial solutions.
