Major transitions need to be initiated and managed within the EU and its Member States and around the world. There is and will always be a need for lawyers who understand legal sustainability concepts and strategies, know how the law fostering these concepts and strategies is embedded in an international context, and know how it depends on national implementation and application. In short, the world needs lawyers who understand how sustainability operates within a multi-level legal order.

These are the lawyers needed to realise the transition processes at an EU and national level to further shape future law, meeting new and unforeseen sustainability challenges and cooperating in interdisciplinary teams to develop sustainable solutions. Whether you want to work in legal practice or the public domain, there’s always a need for well-trained graduates in this field.
