National Law University Delhi is all set for its second edition of the summer school course on ‘Climate Justice & Climate Law: North South Perspectives’ to be held from June 26, 2023, to July 7, 2023. Applications are open to undergraduates, postgraduates, doctoral students, and working professionals. Interested candidates can apply latest by May 15, 2023. 

The National Law University Delhi (NLUD) and the Law Environment and Development Centre (LEDC), SOAS University of London, are offering a two-week online certificate course on climate justice titled 'Climate Justice and Climate Law: South-North Perspectives' from June 26 to July 7, 2023. The last date to apply for the course is May 15, 2023.

Candidates with an undergraduate degree in any field (law, environmental science, development studies, political science, economics, or any other discipline) from a recognised university (for Indian students, with a minimum of 55% marks, in the UK, a 2:1 or equivalent elsewhere) can apply for the course. It is also open for students enrolled in undergraduate, postgraduate and doctoral programmes in any field, and working professionals.

The certificate course shall have an intake of 30 students. 5 seats each shall be reserved for students from SOAS and NLUD.

"The course will focus on the intersection between climate justice and climate change law and policy, framed around understanding justice linked to equity within and among countries. The central axis for understanding climate justice at the international level is differentiation, or the idea that equity requires the global North to do more than the global South in addressing climate change. At the national level, inequality calls for ensuring that the most marginalised and poorest citizens are not made to bear the brunt of policies addressing climate change. This course will frame these issues by emphasising the global South-global North dimensions of the international climate change regime and focusing on India as one significant example for understanding climate justice at the national level," reads NLUD's statement.

"The course will bring together experts from the global South and global North. It will employ a unique pedagogical approach of combining lectures, class exercises, self-study and course work. Roundtable discussions and interactive talks with experts also form an integral part of the programme," added the official notification.
