About this Training Course
The global energy landscape is undergoing a dramatic transformation, driven by climate change imperatives, evolving technologies, and increasingly stringent environmental regulations. In response to these developments, understanding the intersection of energy operations and environmental law has become essential for professionals in law, policy, engineering, and business. This course, Energy and Environmental Law, provides a robust foundation in the legal, regulatory, and commercial frameworks that govern the energy and environmental sectors.
Participants will be introduced to the fundamentals of environmental law, with a focus on international frameworks governing oceans, rivers, air pollution, hazardous substances, biodiversity, and waste management. Building upon this, the course explores energy law, encompassing fossil fuels, nuclear energy, and renewables, while tracing the shift towards green technologies. Climate change policies and international agreements such as the Kyoto Protocol and the Paris Agreement are also covered in detail, alongside current and emerging renewable energy laws and 2050 climate targets.
Structured in four comprehensive modules—Environmental Law, Energy Law, Climate Change, and the Energy Industry—the course combines theory with practice through group exercises, case studies, and practical legal tasks. By engaging with real-world scenarios and legal drafting challenges, participants will gain practical skills directly applicable to their roles.
The course’s relevance is underscored by the urgent need for skilled professionals who can navigate legal complexities in a rapidly changing energy sector. Whether you are entering the field or deepening your expertise, this course equips you with the legal and commercial insight required to lead and innovate in the energy and environmental space.
