LLM International Energy Law aims to provide students with a critical understanding of current issues relating to energy and environmental policy and regulation at an international level. The course introduces students to key international legal principles and frameworks regulating the energy sector and considers their application to global energy industries at a moment when the international community is seeking to address the challenges of climate change.
The Course adopts a ‘reflective’ approach. It provides students with a fundamental understanding of the adaptations in international investment framework and different regulatory approaches to traditional, yet still important forms of energy entering a transitional stage, such as coal, oil and gas (sunset energy sources). It also places significant emphasis upon the regulation of renewable and more sustainable energy sources, such as solar, wind, geothermal and hydrogen (sunrise energy sources) as well as the use of novel technologies to mitigate climate change risk, such as carbon capture and storage. The Course covers other, low-carbon energy sources such as nuclear energy in this transitional environment.
LLM International Energy Law is based on the significant expertise of academic staff in Nottingham Law School.
The course will help students develop a strong analytical understanding of key legal principles and frameworks relating to the international energy industries, as well as an understanding of the shifts in approach in international environmental policy towards more sustainable forms of energy.
LLM International Energy Law permits high-level specialisation in the field and the development of critical awareness of a range of contemporary issues which pertain to the sector, such as the quest to mitigate the effects climate change.
