Cíle předmětu
Climate change is the most important environmental issue of this century. It has generated major law and policy over the last several years, both in the EU and internationally. Climate change also raises important issues of human rights, environmental justice, and international and intergenerational equity. This course will focus on various types of climate change litigation and the legal instruments available to address climate change in the past, nowadays and in the near future. It will first consider the international context and review the history of climate change efforts on a global scale, including the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, the Kyoto Protocol, and the 2015 Paris Agreement. The course will then address the effort at the EU level and pose questions concerning EU MS policies and expectations for achieving the EU objectives.
