What obligations do businesses have under evolving climate laws? What legal challenges arise when companies aim for net-zero? And how can corporate strategy turn climate risks into opportunities?
The Climate Change and Corporations (CCC) specialisation of the master’s programme International Business Law (IBL) is a unique programme in corporate climate law in which you will engage with these types of questions. Companies play a key role in the transition to a sustainable economy. While legislation was slow to emerge, corporate climate obligations are now extensive and enforceable. Among other things, companies must map their climate impact, develop and implement transition plans, and manage climate risks. As a result, demand for specialised climate lawyers is increasing rapidly.
Do you want to become an expert in this dynamic, interdisciplinary and fast-growing field of law? And do you want to understand how companies can manage legal risks and seize opportunities in the transition to a greener world? Then this specialisation in climate law is for you!

Study the climate problem through an Interdisciplinary lens
Climate change is a complex and cross-border problem that cannot be properly understood from a single discipline. In this climate law master’s programme, you will therefore adopt an interdisciplinary approach; combining legal knowledge with insights from climate science, economics, behavioural sciences, ethics and international climate governance. This approach runs as a common thread through all courses. This will not only enable you to develop a multidimensional understanding of the legal questions at stake, but also equip you for strategy and policy-oriented roles in the evolving field of corporate climate governance.
