The course is part of the supplementary activities of the Environmental Sciences degree program and aims to provide students with the essential legal language and tools of environmental law.
The course starts from the basics of law and then addresses the various problems concerning the environment, understood both as a natural asset and as assets created or modified by humans.

- legal subjects;
- goods and property;

- the regulation of reclamation and protection of the territory;
- combating illegal construction, with particular reference to the limits of negotiation of irregular goods;
- the regulation of environmental damage, aimed not only at compensation but also, and above all, at prevention.

As this is a subject that addresses issues transversally compared to the classic divisions of legal subjects, the instructor will provide students on Moodle with handouts on the various topics covered in class and relevant to the course.

a) Galgano, manuale di Diritto Privato, 2022 (o edizioni successive), limited to the chapters: chapter 1, chapter 2, chapter 3 (of the third chapter, only paragraph 3.3 is required), chapter 4, chapter 5, chapter 7, chapter 8, and chapter 19.
