Environmental Law

Environmental Law (4003) is a comprehensive course that explores the legal framework governing environmental protection and sustainable development. This course examines key national and international environmental laws, policies, and regulations, focusing on their role in addressing environmental challenges such as pollution, climate change, biodiversity conservation, and sustainable resource management.

Students will study major environmental legislations, including the Environment Protection Act, Wildlife Protection Act, Forest Conservation Act, and key international agreements such as the Paris Agreement, Rio Declaration, and Kyoto Protocol. The course also covers the role of the judiciary in environmental protection, the principles of environmental law (such as the precautionary principle, polluter pays principle, and sustainable development), and the impact of environmental regulations on industries and society.

Through case studies and legal analysis, students will gain insights into environmental governance, judicial activism, and enforcement mechanisms. This course is essential for those pursuing careers in law, policymaking, environmental advocacy, and sustainable development.
