Presentation
Around a central core of evaluation methods, various themes have been introduced over time, notably to address the issues of consultation and policy acceptability, as well as behavioral economics to understand endogenous incentives in the field of environmental policy. In addition to developments related to the introduction of sustainable development and integrated and participatory policies, the urgency of climate change issues has recently generated new needs.
The M1 courses are largely shared with the Public Economics and Environment track, as well as with the major or several tracks in terms of econometrics and multivariate analysis tools. In particular, the M1 program includes an application exercise spread over two semesters and common to the entire major, aimed at empowering students to analyze an issue and make operational use of econometric tools. This exercise, known as PIR (individual research project), has been successfully implemented for the past five years.
Specific modules on adaptation and assessment are integrated into the M2 program, with significant overlap with the Health Systems Economics track for assessment courses and the EPE, Energy Economics, and Ecodéva tracks for environmental issues.

Continuing education
Students will be able to enroll in a doctoral program following their master's degree by demonstrating (i) either their mastery of assessment tools on various issues or (ii) their knowledge of specific issues related to adaptation to climate change.
Professional integration
The career opportunities offered by this program will be numerous and diverse, depending on the types of organizations targeted.
In international organizations (UNDP, UNEP, FAO, GEF, World Bank, OECD, etc.), these issues are central to the Sustainable Development Goals for 2030 (SDGs) and the impact of climate events on livelihoods, which are two key areas of focus for the projects developed by these institutions.
In local authorities, consulting firms, NGOs, government departments, as well as chambers of commerce and producer organizations, there is a wide variety of fields of application relating to (i) the adaptation of sectors (e.g., agriculture in the face of drought) or territories (coastal areas in the face of rising sea levels or ski resorts in the face of global warming), (ii) the management of specific risks (e.g., flooding, urban heat islands, etc.) and, more generally, (iii) the modalities of public action and the acceptability of these policies, with specificities regarding the types of measures (e.g., nature-based solutions) or tools used to take into account cumulative impacts or the long term.
