Environmental Law and Sustainable Development - LAW855
Environmental law has evolved as a huge and rapidly developing field, inextricably tied to ethical, scientific, political and policy developments. International standards and laws are often absorbed into domestic environmental law with surprising speed. The unit provides an introduction to environmental policy, philosophy and legal frameworks with a focus on the evolution of modern regulatory tools and sustainable development. It explores key issues, concepts and principles. In particular this unit highlights the importance of interdisciplinary approaches to law and the need to incorporate legal approaches and frameworks into wider strategies for good environmental governance.
