Unit 5: Environmental Law
While moral codes and ethics are considered the foundations of our attitudes towards our environment, these positions are often forgotten when economics come into play. It is therefore important to establish environmental laws for us to abide by. Since the 1960s, the environmental movement has pushed for ever-increasing changes to our laws, and has often secured great success. This unit will explore how the introduction of laws to protect our environment has altered and benefited the world in which we live. We will also consider major environmental laws within both the United States and the European Union (arguably the most advanced in environmental law application).
Completing this unit should take you approximately 19 hours.
