CSPO 24A13 - The European Green Deal - will the EU make it real?

The purpose of this course is to introduce students to the European Union's Green Deal. The course will provide students with an overview of environmental, climate and energy policy in the EU: the origins, their development over time and the current challenges. It will also touch upon industrial and innovation policy as well as the EU budget where relevant. To deliver this goal, the course will examine key components of the current EU legislative framework (e.g. the EU Emissions Trading System, ETS), the dynamics of EU policy-making and negotiations in this space, and - in the context of the ongoing political negotiations on the 'Fit-for-55' package - consider collectively what future these policies should take. In doing so, the course will also consider the opportunities and risks associated with further EU integration in this area. The course assumes a basic understanding of the EU's history, institutions, and legislative / policy processes.

Séminaire

English

There are more assignments than the average course; however, these are limited in length and should be concise to reflect what would be expected from you in a professional environment. Students can expect to get as much out of this course as they themselves invest.

The course is in English. You will not be evaluated on your level of English. Active participation and written work is expected - you should therefore be willing to engage and produce work in English.
