Climate Change Law - LAW851

Climate change is a vast subject that has been shaped by scientists, economists, inventors, environmental activists, policy-makers, and politicians ... as well as by judges, legislators, and lawyers. Almost daily we encounter a new development or opinion concerning climate change, but what do we know about the legal framework that has formed around the subject? This course is an introduction to the broader subject of climate change with a particular focus on its legal aspects. It is designed to help students understand the fundamentals of climate change law at both the international and domestic levels.
