自然资源与环境法律与政策-法学硕士

自然资源是全球经济发展的基石。但是，自然资源的开发和使用对环境有影响，常常导致其他社会经济和政治挑战，例如贫穷，疾病和冲突，特别是在发展中国家。由此产生的环境影响，例如气候变化，污染和栖息地退化以及物种灭绝，也给国际治理和外交带来了严峻挑战，常常使国际经济政策和框架与自然资源和环境治理相抵触。本课程将使您对这一领域的法律和政策问题有很好的理解，并掌握在这个令人振奋的领域中从事职业所需的技能，无论这是私人法律执业，还是公司的内部律师，都是以政策为导向在政府间组织和其他国际机构中从事民间社会组织的宣传工作。
Natural Resources form the bedrock of global economic development. However, development and use of natural resources have implications for the environment, often leading to otheromic and political challenges such as poverty, disease and conflicts, especially in developing countries. The resulting environmental impacts such as climate change, pollution and degradation of habitats and species extinction has also raised serious challenges for governance and diplomacy at the international level, often pitting international economic policies and frameworks with natural resources and environmental governance. This course will provide you with an excellent understanding of the law and policy issues in this area, and skills necessary to pursue a career in this exciting field, whether this be in private legal practice, as in-house lawyers in corporations, policy-oriented work in intergovernmental and other international institutions in advocacy in civil society organisations. The course offers a wide range of modules that are contemporary, academically rigorous and skills oriented. The design ensures you gain core knowledge of the wider context framing law and policy in this field whilst giving you the flexibility to tailor your degree to suit your particular interests by choosing from a range of specialist modules. You will explore emerging issues such as a low carbon economy, unconventional and alternative energy, the regulation and governance of multinational corporations and the responsibility of states in addressing these concerns.
