Climate change, biodiversity loss, pollution, managing the sustainable use and exploitation of natural resources and planning for sustainable cities are just some of the many challenges faced by human societies around the world on a day to day basis. Environmental law is the dynamic body of law providing the frameworks and tools for responding to these challenges.

Our courses examine environmental law at both the domestic and international levels covering themes as diverse as climate change, environmental markets, renewable energy, environment and development, natural resource management, water rights, the marine environment, planning law and environmental impact assessment. Taught by Australian and international experts in environmental law, students gain a comprehensive understanding of current and pressing environmental issues and the legal tools and mechanisms used to craft sustainable solutions to meet the challenges of today and into the future.
