This guide has been conceived as a companion to students of

international study programs, who are required to take courses in

environmental law, to help them navigate their way through the subject

matter. The target group is not limited to students with

previous legal knowledge; it expressly includes those who are not law

students but are studying law as a complementary subject. In a condensed

manner, the guide provides an overview of the fundamentals and most

significant developments of environmental law, focusing on international

and European environmental law. This is done by deliberately making

connections to German environmental law in order to illustrate and make

comprehensible the interplay between international environmental law,

European environmental law, and -- in referring to the German case --

national environmental law. Drawing on climate protection as an example

of global significance, the relations between these three levels are

explored in-depth and their foundations and development discussed.
