Overview
This project is part of an effort to address developments in environmental law at the international, European, and French levels. It is based on the observation that the proliferation of environmental regulations has failed to limit environmental and health damage to humanity. This observation raises the question of the effectiveness of environmental law at various levels. It is therefore essential to measure this effectiveness using legal indicators specific to environmental law. This project will enable legal professionals, researchers, students, and public policy makers to incorporate a new dimension into the development of environmental legal standards. Legal indicators represent a cognitive innovation in the development and improvement of environmental law. This degree program is based on a 2021 international collective work titled “Measuring the Effectiveness of Environmental Law,” edited by Professor Michel Prieur, as well as on high-level international research that garnered the interest of UNEP in 2024 during the United Nations Environment Assembly ( UNEA-6) in Nairobi (Kenya) and also at the meeting of the 5th Montevideo Program for Development and the periodic review of environmental law in Nairobi (Kenya).
