The course is newly developed as elective course in the Bachelor degree program in Engineering faculty.
The course comprises 40 teaching lectures, incorporating dynamic group discussions and seminars across four courses offered by the Department of Civil Engineering. Specifically tailored to offer a comprehensive understanding of climate change dynamics, environmental shifts, and economic impacts, the curriculum places a distinct emphasis on the European context. Students will engage with historical climate patterns, conduct thorough analyses of environmental impacts on diverse ecosystems, and evaluate economic consequences within sectors like agriculture and energy. Additionally, the course delves into mitigation and adaptation strategies, evaluates European climate policies, and underscores the importance of global collaborations. Through immersive case studies, assessments, and a final project, participants will attain a profound understanding of Europe's strategic response to climate challenges. The curriculum further explores the European Union's extensive climate policy, addressing critical aspects such as greenhouse gas emissions reduction, climate change adaptation, and the transition to a low-carbon, climate-resilient economy. It delves into the global role of EU environmental and sustainable development policies, major European and global environmental issues, the Environment Action Program to 2030, the renewed Sustainable Development strategy, and the integration of environmental considerations into decisions and activities across various policy sectors. Topics covered encompass climate change, atmospheric, biospheric, hydrospheric, and lithospheric processes, the greenhouse effect, global warming, the impact of energy production on climate, monitoring and modeling climate, negative carbon emissions, sustainable development goals, and strategies to adapt to and mitigate the impacts of climate change.
The course is newly developed as elective course in the Bachelor degree program in Law faculty.
The proposed module aims to provide students, practitioners and civil society with in-depth knowledge about the European and international laws and policies , its achievements and challenges, and its interaction with emerging environmental issues and landmark intergovernmental processes.
The Module is 40 hours of lectures , group discussions and seminars across four courses offered by the Department of Law of Zarqa University.
The course titled "The European Legal Experience in Addressing Climate Change" offers a comprehensive exploration of climate change-related regulations and laws within the European context. Designed to provide participants with an in-depth understanding of the legal frameworks and mechanisms shaping climate action, the curriculum incorporates insightful case studies and a thorough analysis of international agreements. Participants will delve into the European Union's intricate legal landscape addressing climate change, examining regulatory frameworks aimed at mitigating greenhouse gas emissions, promoting renewable energy, and fostering sustainable practices. Moreover, the course will explore landmark legal cases and the evolving role of international agreements, such as the Paris Agreement, in shaping European climate policies. By combining theoretical knowledge with practical insights, this course equips participants with the legal acumen needed to navigate and contribute effectively to the complex field of climate law and regulation.
The goal of this project is to create a Jean Monnet module for the BA in engineering programs for Zarqa University.
