About Us

ANZSEE is the Australasian chapter of the International Society for Ecological Economics.

Recognising that economies are embedded and dependent upon the ecosphere, it is the mandate of ANZSEE, in conjunction with ISEE, to encourage scientific research on the integration of economics, ecology and related disciplines, and to promote the general understanding of the results of that research through education, policy analysis, communication and other appropriate means.

The purpose of ANZSEE is to provide a focus in the Australasian region for activities in ecological economics including:

  • promoting the knowledgebase for the creation of an ecologically sustainable economy
  • fostering transdisciplinary discourse among the social and natural sciences
  • promoting education, graduate research and research funding in ecological economics in the Australasian region.

The roles and responsibilities of ANZSEE include:

  • organising ANZSEE’s biennial conference on ecological economics
  • promoting membership and participation in ISEE
  • highlighting Australian and New Zealand knowledge and experience in ecological economics, and communicating regional ecological economics activity to people in other regions of the World
