IDRC supports several regional networks in Environmental Economics. Their goal is to strengthen local capacity for the economic analysis of environmental problems so that researchers can provide sound advice to policymakers. Each network provides not only research awards and training opportunities but workshops, advice from resource persons, access to literature, publication outlets and opportunities for comparative research across member countries.

IDRC has worked with researchers in developing countries to build this field of applied research, which provides decision-makers facing tough economic and environmental choices with vital evidence, analysis, and recommendations.
