Law Society of Ireland’s Free Online Course: Environmental Law & Climate Change

Starts Tuesday, 18 May 2021 @ 5:00 pm

The 2021 MOOC (Massive Open Online Course) in Environmental Law and Climate Change from the Diploma Centre at the Law Society of Ireland provides participants with a short but incisive overview of legal and ethical considerations for those involved in environmental law and the environmental and conservation spheres.

The course runs over a five-week period with materials for the weekly modules released every Tuesday in the form of short video presentations from expert contributors. These are supported by suggested readings, quizzes, and ‘live’ online Q & A sessions.

Each week, speakers will explore a range of topics including climate change- international/EU/national obligations, climate justice, environmental law enforcement, ecocide and green crime, the circular economy and much more!

Expert speakers are leading environmental lawyers, academics, climate scientists and conservationists, and include Mary Robinson, former President of Ireland speaking on ‘Climate Justice’.

So whether you are passionate about climate justice, curious about green energy or coming in fresh to the emerging global conversation, join us to learn more!
