This training course is designed to provide in-depth coverage of topical issues in global environmental law and governance. It is of interest to professionals interested in the field, particularly those with environmental management and regulation roles. The training commences by examining the nature and sources of global environmental law and focuses on the multi-layered nature of the subject. To this end, it looks at the relationship between domestic, European, and international environmental law. In this respect, an important issue over the next few years is likely to be the complications arising from ‘BREXIT.’ The training also considers the general approaches to global environmental law and governance policy and identifies overarching principles and broad themes. Having ‘set the scene’, the training course then examines how environmental law deals with a number of the most pressing issues facing society today and looks at several substantive areas as ‘case studies’. This approach means some flexibility in the substantive areas covered, and it may change from time to time. However, there are likely to be some constants, not least of which is climate change and the role of COP26.
The aim of this training course is to demonstrate the role played by law in tackling some of the most pressing global environmental issues of our age. It uses a case study approach to introduce a number of recurrent themes in environmental law. These include the need to achieve sustainable economic development and the difficulties of translating scientific concepts into legally enforceable standards. The course requires participants to develop an independent approach to learning and intellectual curiosity.
By the end of this training course, the participants will be able to:
- Recognise the difficulties associated with balancing global environmental concerns with other societal objectives
- Identify and understand the disparate sources of environmental law and synthesise them into a coherent framework
- Compare and contrast how certain regulatory techniques can be used to combat some environmental issues
- Evaluate and criticise how regulatory techniques operate in certain spheres
- Develop a critical understanding of how environmental law operates at a domestic, European and international level
- Examine the extent to which the law has developed an integrated approach to pollution control
- Anticipate future directions in global environmental law and governance
- Synthesise arguments from a range of sources beyond the purely legal literature
The delegates will gain a greater understanding through presentations by an experienced international practitioner designed to inform and broaden the participants’ perspectives. Case studies will be reviewed and discussed, bearing in mind some of the realistic scenarios delegates may encounter. Interactive discussions to encourage conversation of problems and possible solutions to it. They will view different videos on global environmental law and governance.
