LLM in Environmental Law, Energy & Climate Change

Environmental Law has emerged significantly in the post Stockholm period as a subject of structured and substantive dimensions having immense contemporary relevance. It has its roots and bearings in the ancient Indian traditions, wherein, the environmental ethics of the times was reflected through divine personification of the cardinal natural elements which are sun, air, fire, water and earth.

The journey through ages diluted the reverential aspect of environment and brought in gradual exploitation of nature that became more pervasive and systematic, especially, in the aftermath of the industrial revolution and the new nuclear age of the 21st Century. It had its grave portents for India too. The post -independence phase in India witnessed a gradual acknowledgement of the seminal importance of environment as an essential ingredient of 'Right to Life” and several apex court judgments were rendered highlighting this aspect.

With a more ecologically and socially conscious milieu; it is essential to minimize the adverse impacts of pollution and ecological degradation through proper environmental management and international cooperation. This can be done by not just raising awareness of environmental values but also strengthening the delivery capacity of environmental professionals so that they are well equipped to face the challenges in their stream of work. One of the ways to address a situation like this is to strengthen the human resource pool by creating efficient environmental lawyers. In this context, Centre for Environmental Law (CEL), WWF India in collaboration with Centre for Post Graduate Legal Studies (CPGLS), O.P. Jindal Global University (JGU) offers 'LLM in Environmental Law, Energy and Climate Change'.

This Course is useful for Law graduates who would like to develop specialist legal knowledge on national and global environmental issues. Similarly, law professionals working in the field of environment will be benefitted by a specialized Masters Programme in Law to enhance their knowledge in this field to help build their existing career from the unique LLM in Environmental Law, Energy and Climate Change.
