Course Description

Climate change is the biggest environmental challenge of our time and addressing it requires a range of regulatory tools and strategies for mitigating emissions.  Effective mitigation of greenhouse gas emissions requires placing limits on emissions across multiple sectors, but also employing market mechanisms through eg emission trading, and promoting new technologies such as carbon capture, utilisation & storage. This course examines legal framework governing carbon management at the international and national levels, critically analysing the role of law in mitigating the climate crisis.

 

By the end of this course, students should have knowledge of:

  • the legal framework governing carbon management at the international and national levels;
  • concerns with the adequacy of this framework for appropriate mitigation of emissions and their reporting;
  • legal issues associated with carbon trading at national, regional, and international levels;
  • legal issues associated with carbon capture, utilisation and storage.
