Environmental Law and Conservation explores how legal systems, policies, and international agreements are used to protect the natural environment and promote sustainable development. This course provides learners with a structured understanding of environmental law principles and the role they play in addressing modern environmental challenges such as climate change, resource management, and biodiversity loss.

The course begins by introducing the foundations of environmental law, explaining how laws are created, applied, and enforced at both national and international levels. Learners examine international environmental law and the role of key environmental organisations in shaping global environmental governance. Important legislative frameworks, including national environmental policy approaches, are discussed to help learners understand how environmental protection is implemented in practice.

As the course progresses, learners explore the relationship between the environment and economics, gaining insight into how economic activity impacts ecosystems and how sustainable development aims to balance growth with environmental responsibility. Climate change is examined in detail, alongside environmental impact assessments, which are essential tools for evaluating the environmental consequences of development projects.

The course also addresses nature conservation, highlighting legal and policy approaches used to protect habitats, wildlife, and natural resources. Key international agreements, including the Kyoto Protocol and the Paris Agreement, are explored to show how global cooperation supports climate action. Learners are further introduced to sustainable development principles and the enforcement of environmental law, emphasising compliance, accountability, and long-term environmental stewardship.
