Energy and Climate Law

Today, the energy sector is changing as a result of climate change concerns, technological innovation and digitalisation. Our specialised LLM in Energy and Climate Law presents the main legal principles of energy markets, clarifies the impact of new technologies on energy law, and explains how climate law affects the energy sector. The EU is often used as an example in comparison with other jurisdictions around the globe. Some of the questions this programme examines will include: * How does EU law influence national laws in relation to energy and climate change? * How does the EU compare to other jurisdictions in regulating energy and climate change? * What are the consequences of liberalisation for the energy sector? * What is the impact of market-based instruments on climate action? * Which legal dilemmas result from new energy and climate technologies? * How should energy producers and consumers become climate-neutral?
