This guide has been conceived as a companion to students of
international study programs, who are required to take courses in
environmental law, to help them navigate their way through the subject
matter. The target group is not limited to students with
previous legal knowledge; it expressly includes those who are not law
students but are studying law as a complementary subject. In a condensed
manner, the guide provides an overview of the fundamentals and most
significant developments of environmental law, focusing on international
and European environmental law. This is done by deliberately making
connections to German environmental law in order to illustrate and make
comprehensible the interplay between international environmental law,
European environmental law, and -- in referring to the German case --
national environmental law. Drawing on climate protection as an example
of global significance, the relations between these three levels are
explored in-depth and their foundations and development discussed.
