LAW 6365
Climate Change Law and Policy

Course information provided by the 2026-2027 Catalog.

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.
