Introduktion
Oversigt
Hovedfokus på dette kursus er, hvordan det voksende pres på naturressourcer har foranlediget en re-evaluering af traditionelle tilgange til at tackle udfordringerne og søge muligheder, herunder at afbøde klimaændringer, standse og genoprette biodiversitet og tab af levesteder, bæredygtig udvikling og erstatte konventionelle former. af energi (olie, gas, kul), samt en søgen efter nye og vedvarende via energiomstilling.
Kurset giver både bredde og dybde af analyse af disse problemstillinger gennem en integreret tilgang til miljøret, der væver ind i begreber og teorier om bæredygtighed, retfærdighed og menneskerettigheder. Mens det er specialist, er LLM Environmental Law and Climate Justice-kurset tilgængeligt for dem uden baggrund i hverken energi- eller miljøspørgsmål eller lov og politik. Det henvender sig derfor til både jura kandidater og også dem med erfaring i beslægtede discipliner inden for samfunds- og miljøvidenskab samt inden for kunst og humaniora. Dette forstærkes af den tværfaglige udbud af moduler, der omfatter LLM-kurset.
