Its global problems tackle: climate change, deforestation, rising waste production, water and air pollution and much else.

EU Environmental law sources and principles: as the Precautionary Principle, the Polluter Pays Principle, the Preventive Principle, and the Rectification at Source Principle, all drawn in the light of the Sustainable Development. Enforcement of the EU environmental law at Members States levels. Environmental impact assessment. Techniques for environment management. European Climate Law: principles and secondary laws. Challenges and opportunities in specific sectors, namely: Reneawble Energy Consumption; Climate Law and Human Rights; Waste Policy and Management, Public Procurement, Biodiversity.
