Energy, Natural Resources and the Environment (ENE) covers several core topics: First, research on energy markets, including markets for electricity, oil and gas. Second, research within natural resources covering commodity markets and management of resources in industries such as fishing (farmed and wild), mining and minerals. Third, environmental research, focusing on climate change, mitigation and adaptation, and the role of national and international policies.

In these areas ENE offers rigorous and empirical research to support decision-making by both government and industry. Research within ENE draws upon tools from management science, finance, economics and in general from theories for dynamic decision making under uncertainty.

ENE researchers have published articles in journals like European Journal of Operational Research, the Energy Journal, International Game Theory Review, Omega, Journal of Economic Dynamics and Control, Journal of Environmental Economics and Management, Journal of Public Economics, Journal of Development Economics and American Journal of Agricultural Economics.
