Information
Aims, contents and method of the course
The necessary evolution of States’ public policies in order to protect biodiversity and mitigate climate change raises complex questions about their compatibility with existing free trade agreements and investment treaties. It has already given rise to a series of disputes between member States of WTO, and between States and foreign investors. Moreover, the emergence of new economic sectors, such as renewable energies, and the use of market tools to pursue environmental goals, such as greenhouse gas emission trading, creates new challenges for international economic law. The course’s purpose is to address these evolutions and to analyse their impact on treaty drafting and legal reasoning in international law.
