Course Description

Introduction

The purpose of this Course N Carry training programme is to give comprehensive covering of current topics in global environmental law and governance. Professionals in the subject will find it interesting, especially those who work in environmental management and regulation. The course begins with a review of the origins and structure of international environmental law, emphasising the complex nature of the topic. In order to achieve this, it examines the connections among national, international, and European environmental law. In this regard, the ramifications of "BREXIT" are probably going to be a major concern in the coming years. The programme also highlights overarching ideas and broad themes and takes into account common approaches to global environmental law and governance policy. After providing a "set the scene," the training session looks at many substantive areas as "case studies" and analyses how environmental law addresses some of the most important concerns that society is currently experiencing. This method allows for considerable flexibility in the subject matter presented, and it may occasionally alter. There will probably be some constants, though, not the least of which being COP26's role and climate change.

This training course on international environmental law and governance aims to illustrate the role that law plays in addressing some of the most important environmental concerns of our day. It introduces some frequent concepts in environmental law using a case study approach. Achieving sustainable economic development and converting scientific ideas into legally binding norms are two of these challenges. Participants in the course must cultivate an independent attitude towards learning and intellectual curiosity.
