Radioactive pollution, global warming, acid rain, ozone layer depletion, ocean pollution, expanding desertification, illegal dumping of waste, asbestos problems, and other serious threats to the survival of the human race are occurring on a global scale. Damage done to health and the environment is unquestionably irreversible but without a legal framework, serious environmental problems will be left unsolved. To meet the demands and expectations of modern society, the Department of Global Environmental Law aims to train various types of professionals, such as government officials with expertise in environmental administration and policy, lawyers who deal with environmental issues, experts in environmental measures in companies, and staff of environmental NGOs.
Special Course in Global Environmental Law
Students in the Department of Legal Studies of the Global Environment can take regular courses as law students, or can concentrate on environmental law-related courses. The Department of Legal Studies of the Global Environment maintains a Special Course dedicated to environmental law, and certifies course completion for students who complete the course with high grades. We look forward to many students receiving certification and going on to become specialists in environmental law.
Curriculum
After taking basic legal subjects, students will learn the basic subjects Introduction to Environmental Law and General Theory of Environmental Law, and then progress to specialization subjects such as Environmental Litigation Law and Nature Conservation Law to acquire knowledge and thinking skills on environmental-related rules around the world. The relationship between the environment and law in different settings, such as government and business, and the state of environmental law in different regions, such as the United States, Europe, and Asia, are also explored. In addition to the knowledge and legal thinking skills in global and Japanese legal systems concerning environmental issues, the perspective of international and comparative law gained through the courses offered by the Department of International Legal Studies, as well as the interdisciplinary knowledge acquired from political science, public administration, and other multidisciplinary approaches will also be an asset for creating and supporting a sustainable society.
