Information

Ziele, Inhalte und Methode der Lehrveranstaltung

The course is open to diploma students, IREWI students, Erasmus and other exchange students.

This course will discuss international environmental law (IEL). Following an introduction to the historical development, and the foundations and principles of IEL, the course will focus on current developments and climate change. We will cover a range of topics, including the protection of the marine environment, the topical issue of deep seabed mining and the exploitation of natural resources, and the environmental protection regime for Antarctica. Furthermore, we will address climate change-related topics, such as the protection of the atmosphere and emerging technological approaches for mitigating climate change, such as carbon capture and storage and geoengineering. The course will also examine the implementation of IEL and focus on the interrelationship between human rights law and IEL particularly in light of recent climate change-related cases before human rights courts. We will analyse the existing rules, discuss regulatory gaps and assess the effects of the current rules, exploring how different legal interests are balanced within the framework of IEL.
