DU Measuring the effectiveness of environmental law - Legal indicators in environmental law

This project is in line with developments in environmental law at international, European and French level. It is based on the observation that the inflation of environmental standards is failing to limit the environmental and health damage caused 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 and students, as well as those in charge of public policy, to integrate a new dimension into the production of environmental legal standards. Legal indicators represent a cognitive innovation in the development and improvement of environmental law. The diploma is based on an international collective work published in 2021, "Measurer l'Effectivité du Droit de l'Environnement", edited by Professor Michel Prieur, as well as on high-level international work which attractedthe interestof UNEP in 2024 at the United Nations General Assembly for the Environment UNEA-6 in Nairobi (Kenya), and also at the meeting of the 5th Montevideo Programme for the Development and Periodic Review of Environmental Law in Nairobi (Kenya).
