The University of Oslo, College of Law, is proposing this Spring a new elective course at Master level: International Climate and Energy Law.
Description
This course reviews the sources and principles of international climate and energy law, the interactions of the commitments under both regimes, and the new opportunities it creates for the promotion of sustainable energy, energy efficiency, and corporate responsibility. In particular, the course is based on a detailed examination of the following topics: the international climate change regime (UNFCCC/Kyoto Protocol) and the related legal mechanisms; the regulatory approaches for the involvement of companies in achieving a sustainable development and combating climate change; the legal obligations deriving from the climate regime and affecting the energy sector (as a major sour of emissions); the international regulation of renewable energy sources and their support; the promotion of energy efficiency measures; an assessment of the existing trade barriers raised for the defence of climate change or how to make energy trade climate friendly.

I will see the ones interested during the two last lectures on energy law dedicated to renewable energy and energy efficiency!
