Information
Ziele, Inhalte und Methode der Lehrveranstaltung
Dieses Seminar untersucht die Schnittstelle zwischen Investitionsrecht und Klimawandel und analysiert, wie internationale Investitionsabkommen und nationale Regulierungen die ökologische Nachhaltigkeit und Klimaschutzmaßnahmen beeinflussen. Die Teilnehmerinnen und Teilnehmer befassen sich mit zentralen rechtlichen Rahmenbedingungen, darunter bilaterale Investitionsabkommen (BITs) und die Rolle der Investor-Staat-Streitbeilegung (ISDS) bei der Gestaltung von Klimapolitiken.Das Seminar behandelt aktuelle Fallstudien, in denen das Investitionsrecht klimaorientierte Initiativen beeinflusst hat, sowie die Herausforderungen und Chancen, Investitionspraktiken mit Klimazielen in Einklang zu bringen. Durch die Vorstellung von Seminararbeiten und Diskussionen erhalten die Studierenden eine umfassende Einsicht in die Frage, wie das Investitionsrecht entweder den Klimaschutz unterstützen oder behindern kann. Darüber hinaus werden mögliche Reformen zur Förderung nachhaltiger Investitionspraktiken untersucht.Das Seminar vermittelt den Studierenden ein tiefgehendes Verständnis für die Rolle des Investitionsrechts bei der Förderung oder Einschränkung klimapolitischer Maßnahmen. Die Teilnehmerinnen und Teilnehmer setzen sich mit theoretischen Debatten und praktischen rechtlichen Entwicklungen auseinander, darunter vertragsbasierte Ausnahmen für Umweltmaßnahmen, sich wandelnde Klauseln zum Schutz öffentlicher Interessen und potenzielle Reformen, die darauf abzielen, das Investitionsrecht mit globalen Klimaverpflichtungen zu harmonisieren und nachhaltige Investitionen zu fördern.Die Teilnehmenden werden ersucht sich bei der Themawahl von der unterstehenden Liste inspirieren zu lassen.
