Overview

Since the United Nations Conference on the Human Environment – the first major UN conference on environmental matters – which was held in Stockholm in 1972, new environmental issues have emerged, and have expanded in scale and scope.

The way environmental matters interconnect with other issue areas such as human rights, trade and investments, social rights and development, armed conflicts and corporate responsibility, only emphasises the importance of environmental law in transboundary contexts.

What you will learn

In the LL.M. in Environmental Law at Stockholm University, students will acquire in-depth knowledge of material environmental law, as well as be provided the necessary theoretical and methodological foundations to be able to work independently with research, development or other qualified work in the area of environmental law.

Our LL.M. centres on transboundary dimensions and cross-cutting issues, and refer to cases and contexts where the legal approaches, principles and concepts to protect the environment integrate, collide or clash with other areas of law.
