Lectures were held as part of the Academy for Environmental Economics (ASEE) in the following areas:

• Environmental Economics.
• Sustainable development.
• Closed-cycle economics.
• Ecosystem services.
• Case studies from the EU and Central Asia.

ASEE was created on the basis of Kazakh-German University in order to share EU and Central Asian experience and knowledge in the field of green finance, innovative economic tools and incentives to achieve the ambitious goals of the circular economy.
