LEX102: Sustainability, Science and the Law
This unit provides students with an introduction to global sustainability issues and the significance of law to them. No previous knowledge of law or sustainability is required. This unit is relevant to a broad range of disciplines, as it deals with environmental policy, science and politics, ethics, philosophy and the legal system. In particular, it considers the synergies between these areas, in the context of sustainability issues. The unit takes an international and comparative approach to sustainability and sustainable development, but with legal concepts and processes as the main focus. Whilst sustainability is dealt with in many different ways, this unit considers sustainability through an interdisciplinary lens and the development of multifaceted solutions to current global dilemmas.
