Course Description
Course information provided by the Courses of Study 2024-2025.
Climate change is one of the defining issues of our time. In this class, we'll examine the many facets of climate law-from litigation to regulation and from subnational to global scales-to give you a foundational understanding of climate law and how it is applied to policy. We'll begin with an introduction to climate law, followed by examining some of the available tools to address the climate crisis, including regulatory and legislative strategies. After diving deeply into the equity and justice issues in climate law, we'll look at U.S. and global climate policies. Finally, we will end the class on a hopeful note, collectively brainstorming ways to implement legal pathways for deep decarbonization. Note: this class is designed for law students. Undergraduate and non-law graduate students may be admitted to the class on an individual basis at the instructor's discretion. If you are a non-law student interested in the class, please submit an application (consisting of a statement of interest in the course and any prior relevant experience - academic or otherwise - in law or climate policy) to aab263@cornell.edu.
When Offered Fall, Spring.
