Inhalt Climate change and loss of biodiversity are among the most serious environmental challenges. This course will provide insights into international legal instruments addressing these challenges. It serves as a general introduction to international environmental law and policy. After exploring the economic, political, and legal concepts relevant to international environmental treaty regimes, these concepts will be applied to specific international environmental problems. The course focuses on the dynamics of treaties, negotiations, and state as well as non-state actors. The final section of the course will discuss how to ensure compliance with international environmental law.
