Learning outcomes

The module aims to provide students with an understanding of the complex issues related to the administrative function of environmental protection, with particular attention to procedural aspects and the issues of air pollution and climate change

Program

In particular, the ways in which the interest in environmental protection is combined with other interests and the role played by society, environmental associations and other institutional actors in administrative decisions (assessments, authorisations, certifications) are analysed.

The distance learning lessons (1 CFU, 6 hours) (prerequisites) are devoted to the following topics:
- Public bodies and their activity
- Administrative procedure

In-presence lectures (5 CFU, 30 hours) are devoted to the following topics:
- The legal framework: the sources of environmental law
- Environmental administration: organisational profiles
- Environmental risk assessment
- Procedures: environmental assessments (EIA and SEA)
- Air pollution and combating climate change: functions and procedures

In the final part of the course, three dedicated focuses are organised with the support of the PBS (problem based solving) methodology:
- Focus and in-depth study of the sources of environmental law (PBS)
- Focus on and in-depth study of environmental assessments (PBS)
- Focus on and in-depth study of air pollution procedures (PBS)

The course combines lectures for 30 hours (supported by the use of PowerPoint presentations) with group exercises organised according to the Problem Based Solving (PBS) method. At the end of the course, the presentation of the papers and the final discussion are organised.
Lessons will be held both in presence and online (streaming) via Zoom. Each lesson is recorded and available in the Moodle page of the course.
