As we increasingly experience its consequences firsthand in our everyday lives, we hear more and more about water retention, climate change and urban greening. Members of the generation of scholars who came of age around the time of the political transition, some of whom have spent decades working to establish the foundations of environmental policy and research in Hungary, have been warning us about these issues for a long time. How do they perceive the escalating threats today? At the conference, two researchers who have witnessed the integration of environmental economics into the Hungarian-language academic discourse and the domestic scientific community from its early days \u2014 <strong>S\u00e1ndor Kerekes<\/strong>, Professor Emeritus at Corvinus University of Budapest and Honorary President of the HEA\u2019s Environmental Economics Section, and <strong>J\u00e1nos Szl\u00e1vik<\/strong>, Professor Emeritus at Eszterh\u00e1zy K\u00e1roly Catholic University \u2014 will reflect on the past decades and look ahead to the future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The professors who built the foundations of this field, together with their former students \u2014 <strong>M\u00e1ria Csutora<\/strong>, Professor at Corvinus University of Budapest and a member and former president of the HEA\u2019s Environmental Economics Section; <strong>Patr\u00edcia N\u00e9meth<\/strong>, Associate Professor at Budapest University of Economics and Business and former secretary of the Section; <strong>Tam\u00e1s F\u00fcrjes<\/strong>, an employee of Ketjen Hungary Ltd. and a two-time alumnus of BUEB; and <strong>Mih\u00e1ly Dombi<\/strong>, Senior Research Fellow at BUEB and President of the HEA\u2019s Environmental Economics Section \u2014 will explore questions such as how the body of knowledge in environmental economics as we know it today came into being; how this knowledge has contributed to our development over the past decades; how it relates to mainstream economics and ecological economics, and how these relationships have evolved over time; and what prospects lie ahead for teaching and research in this field in Hungary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>We plan to livestream the event on the HEA\u2019s YouTube channel at the following link:<\/em> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=mv7hvUV7IxM\"><em>https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=mv7hvUV7IxM<\/em><\/a><em>.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Can We Survive the Tragedy of the Commons?
