Basic legal knowledge is useful. A specific lesson will be dedicated to the introduction to fundamental legal concepts.
Written or oral final exam. Two partial tests will be organized (optional).
The vote, expressed in thirtieths, will be mediated with the grade obtained for the exam relating to the other module of the course.
The main objective of the module is to introduce students to the main topics of environmental law, a legal discipline characterized by a high degree of technicality and interaction with other and different sciences. At the end of the course it is expected that the student, in addition to possessing a good knowledge of the problems and themes proposed, has acquired an adequate command of the legal language.

- environmental assessments (Environmental Impact Assessment, Strategic Environmental Assessment and Impact Assessment)
- the European regulations REACH (concerning the registration, evaluation, authorization and restriction of chemical substances) and CLP (related to the classification, labeling and packaging of substances and mixtures)
- the "Seveso" directives: evolution of European legislation on the control of major-accident hazards involving dangerous substances
- environmental responsibility for preventing and repairing environmental damage
climate change, considering both adaptation and mitigation policies (with a focus on international agreements and on renewable energy and biofuels)
- the protection of biodiversity (with an analysis of international conventions and European legislation on the subject)
environmental labels / declarations (with a focus on protecting consumers from the phenomenon of greenwashing)
- the discipline of eco-crimes (with an examination of the law of May 22, 2015, No. 68 "Provisions on crimes against the environment")
