The Jean Monnet Module on European and International Environmental Law (EIEL) aims to provide students, practitioners and civil society with in-depth knowledge about the state of the art of European and international environmental law and policy, its achievements and challenges, and its interaction with emerging environmental issues and landmark intergovernmental processes. It is hosted by the Department of Law of the University of Siena (Italy) and co-funded by the Erasmus+ programme of the European Commission until August 2023.

Two overarching themes run through the Module:

(a) the emphasis on the most pressing and emerging issues in European and international environmental law, including the interconnected planetary crises of climate change and biodiversity loss;

(b) the particular focus on implementation and enforcement at the level of the EU and its Member States.
