2. Frontiers in Environmental Economics – “Tourist and resident perspectives on coastal management”
- Publication Date: June 26, 2025

Broader Context & Academic Activity
- The International Society for Ecological Economics (ISEE), through regional counterparts like the Brazilian Society for Ecological Economics, hosted an “Creating Collective Futures” itinerant school from August 11–16, 2025. Although not frontline-worker reporting, such gatherings often include practitioner-focused dialogue, workshop outcomes, and field-driven insights.

Why This Matters
- Economic Valuation of Ecosystems: Understanding how ecological products are valued under decarbonization policies helps shape incentives, compensation schemes, and local economic planning.
- Stakeholder Preferences in Stewardship: Analysis of WTP differences between residents and tourists provides insights into how governance and payment mechanisms can balance ecological protection with economic interests.
- Emergent Thought Leadership: The ISEE itinerant school signals evolving priorities within ecological economics—especially as they relate to community, equity, and ecosystems.
