Environmental Law refers to the body of law that addresses environmental issues. The growth of environmental law has been phenomenal as the study of this special law is highly relevant to ecological and economic interdependence. Environmental problems have progressed from being tackled within a regional coexistence framework to a multilateral cooperation framework at a global level. This law not only deals with current threats to ecology but also provides anticipatory responses to global environmental changes of future.
The PG Diploma Program in Environmental Law is designed to offer an overview of the environmental threats and the legal solutions available in domestic and international legal framework.
