The short course in Environmental Law provides you with a comprehensive overview of the fast-growing and increasingly relevant field of environmental law in South Africa. The dynamic and thought-provoking course focuses on the environmental laws emerging from section 24 of the Constitution of the Republic of South Africa, 1996, including the National Environmental Management Act of 1998 and various specific environmental management acts that operate within its framework. The course also addresses the key aspects of international environmental law relating specifically to the regulation of climate change.
