This course will focus on the legal grounds of the environmental protection (constitutional law, international law, european law, national legal orders), in order to ask if there is a fundamental right to a healthy environment. The main environmental principles will be studied (precautionary principle, polluter-pays principle, the access principles), along with the main environmental challenges (protecting biodiversity, protecting spaces, climate change…). The approach is comparative and includes a large participation of each student who will explain the environmental policy of his/her own country.
