Eventreihe 15 Jahre Fakultät Nachhaltigkeit: The Role of Sustainability Law in Sustainability Governance

This panel offers perspectives on the past, present and future of the role of law in sustainability governance. It discusses the development and status quo of environmental law and the evolution of what could be termed ‘sustainability law’. We will critically examine the contribution that law has made to a (more) sustainable world so far and whether and how law can be a tool to support the transformation to sustainability in the face or persistent and unresolved environmental challenges such as biodiversity loss, pollution and climate change.
