Question

What are environmental goods? Give examples.

Answer 1

Environmental goods are typically non-market goods, including clean air, clean water, landscape, green transport infrastructure (footpaths, cycleways, greenways, etc.), public parks, urban parks, rivers, mountains, forests, and beaches.  Concerns with environmental goods focus on the effects that the exploitation of ecological systems has on the economy, the well–being of humans and other species, and on the environment.
