EN 287 - International Environmental Law and Policy


Global environmental issues are at the forefront of the policy agenda, both domestically and in the international arena. These new challenges can be distinguished from earlier environmental problems by their global scope, long-term intergenerational consequences, and the magnitude of the changes – political, economic, behavioral and technological - they will inevitably require. This course engages students in comparative analysis of how different parts of the world, different countries and different communities are responding to these challenges. It discusses alternative forms of global and regional policies and models of governance that are sensitive to the interests and perspectives of individual nation-states.
