Humanity is currently facing a number of environmental issues, such as climate change and biodiversity loss. As many of these have a global effect, they cannot be solved by a single country and require an international approach. In this course, students will learn the foundations of the discipline that is international environmental law. The structure of the course is built in a constructive way, where the first classes will make the students acquainted with the fundamentals of international environmental law, such as the general principles and implementation mechanisms. The middle part of the course discusses the three core topics of international environmental law, and the final part looks at areas where, sometimes surprisingly, international environmental law has a role.
