Teaching and Learning Climate and Environmental Justice in Law Schools
Global Perspectives on Transforming the Curriculum
About this book
Arguing for the critical importance of the topic within law school curricula (whether for academic credit purposes or not), this novel and exceptionally timely book explores a fundamental question: should law schools teach about climate and environmental justice?
Despite the urgency of climate and environmental protection issues, many law schools present the topic as optional for students or don't engage at all. Arguing for the inclusion of climate and environmental justice at the earliest possible opportunity, this book presents study models in a variety of contexts and jurisdictions to support research into curriculum development and design. Case study examples of planned climate and environmental justice research and offerings at national and international levels are presented to support those who wish to include and/or expand provisions. This book also addresses concerns and initiatives of indigenous peoples, demonstrating how partnerships between law schools and others remain integral to establishing sustainable learning initiatives.
Ultimately promoting and supporting the study of climate and environmental justice in a legal and applied context, this book will be of interest to scholars, researchers and academics involved with sustainability education, training and leadership, legal education and curriculum design. Clinical legal educators may also find the volume of interest.
