POL-214 Environmental Law

GER: NE (Humans and the Natural Environment)
Exploration of how environmental law interplays with the public policy dimensions of science, media and politics providing students with an understanding of the breadth of environmental law and the range of tools of conservation advocacy. The constant and ever-changing interplay between the law, politics, media and science leading to public policy in the environmental/conservation/ energy field will be a key focus. Emerging interpretations (both domestic and international) of the impact of the law on climate and policy will also be addressed. 4 credits.
