It will hold significant value for NLSIU students due to the multifaceted nature of this global issue. Climate change intersects with various legal disciplines, including:
• Environmental Law: Students will understand the legal frameworks governing emissions, pollution control, and environmental impact assessments.
• Human Rights Law: The course will explore the displacement, resource scarcity, and other human rights concerns arising from climate change.
• International Law: International treaties, such as the Paris Agreement, and their implementation strategies will be examined.
