Course description
This course addresses two broad topics of major concern and relevance to the international community like climate change and sustainable development, and their relationship to human rights. Climate change has been defined as one of the major global challenges, while the sustainable development goals are the main global agenda aimed at improving human condition worldwide. Making progress with adaptation and mitigation measures concerning climate change and working toward achieving the sustainable development goals have a direct effect on the enjoyment of human rights. These broad themes are covered in two and a half days through mainly in-person lectures and seminars, taught by renowned experts in the field.
Participants attending over 70% of the course will receive an attendance certificate. The course is also recommended for 4 (four) ECTS study point, upon assessment of a research paper of 5,000 (five thousand) words maximum (including footnotes), which is evaluated as pass/fail. Further instructions will be provided during the course.
