Università Roma Tre

The course intends to offer a thorough overview of EU environmental law, covering the basic framework and principles as well as the evolving substantive law, at a time when environmental law in Member States is becoming ever less 'national' and EU regulation is growing in scope and importance.
The course will cover the institutional structure governing environmental regulatory measures in the EU, including the creation, implementation and enforcement of environmental regulations, public participation, environmental impact assessment and environmental liability.
It will then examine in depth the substantive law in key areas: waste, nature and biodiversity conservation, air pollution and industrial emissions, water quality protection, chemical substances and GMOs, and climate change. Connections between EU law, international law and municipal law will be analysed in depth.
