Description
This module will investigate environmental law in a global context, examining the main principles, instruments and approaches of international and global law that address environmental challenges.听
This module will explore the range of laws and norms that impact on global environmental problems. There are diverse bodies of environmental law that regulate and affect environmental law problems globally, including classic forms of public international law and increasingly transnational, regional and networked bodies of environmental norms. The module will explore these different kinds of law and how they have developed in an environmental context.听
We will explore this rich global legal landscape through a number of case studies. These will vary from year to year, but could include topics such as the role of environmental principles, climate change governance, biodiversity conservation, international water law, international waste law, the impact of international environmental norms in domestic legal regimes, access to justice in relation to environmental matters and how issues of IGEL are decided and enforced via courts and other mechanisms.听听
