Economics & Finance for Environmental Leadership 2025
In-person at Stanford University, August 18-29, 2025
Economics for Conservation
Join a global network of environmental leaders using economic tools to fight for and fund nature!
Our life-changing annual course empowers participants with practical tools to innovate and solve for conservation challenges around the world.
Back by popular demand, this year we’re returning to in-person training at Stanford University in August 2025. This 2-week course will be run by CSF’s Numbers for Nature Training Institute in partnership with Stanford’s Natural Capital Project and the Conservation Finance Alliance.
This introductory course provides conservation professionals with a solid foundation in economic theory and practical tools to apply their new skills to the most pressing conservation challenges in their regions. The 2025 cohort will learn to use economic language and theories to build nature into financial decision-making and communicate most effectively with stakeholders across regions, cultures, and backgrounds.
Registration is now closed for our 2025 cohort.
