Environmental economics is a subfield of economics concerned with environmental issues (other usages of the term are not uncommon). In using standard methods of neo-classical economics, it is distinguished from green economics or ecological economics which include the nonstandard approaches to environmental problems, environmental science/environmental studies, or ecology. Quoting from the National Bureau of Economic Research Environmental Economics program:

Environmental Economics *. Particular issues include the costs and benefits of alternative environmental policies to deal with air pollution, water quality, toxic substances, solid waste, and global warming.

A related field (or possibly alternative approach to the same field) is ecological economics, which takes as its premise that economics is itself a strict subfield of ecology.
