Videoclass: The European Union and Climate Change
Justo Corti Varela
Course’s director.
This video introduces the process of European integration, its institutional structure and the way in which Union law is created. Subsequently, it is explained how environmental policy arises in the EU, and within it, EU climate policy, also drawing influences and parallels between intra-European regulation and international negotiations. Finally, the video deals with the splitting of climate policy (and its law) in the Treaty of Lisbon, as well as how it has become a strategic axis of integration since the von der Layen Commission (2019).
