The Green Transition research collaboration at the Department of Law examines the legal frameworks governing the green transition, with a particular focus on climate law, environmental law and energy law. The collaboration examines how legal regulation structures, enables, and constrains the transition towards sustainable environments and energy systems.
A core research area concerns the legal interaction between climate regulation, environmental regulation and energy systems. This includes analysis of how environmental law affects the planning, approval, regulation, and operation of energy infrastructure, as well as how the restructuring of energy systems gives rise to new legal obligations and regulatory challenges. Special attention is paid to legally binding sustainability requirements and their implications throughout the value chain, including planning, production, distribution, and consumption.
The research also focuses on legal issues related to energy policy within the European Union and Denmark. At the same time, Green Transition constitutes an interdisciplinary research initiative aimed at strengthening environmental sustainability through the development and application of legal frameworks, the promotion of access to justice, and the analysis of redistributive regulatory instruments. The research perspective extends beyond individual legal subjects to address broader societal and environmental interests.
The collaboration further examines the legal consequences of the green transition for both businesses and citizens. For businesses, the research addresses regulatory compliance, corporate obligations, liability regimes, competition law, cybersecurity and the impact of sustainability requirements on economic activity. For citizens, it considers the legal effects of the green transition on rights and obligations related to energy supply, environmental protection, and public participation. Emphasis is placed on the legal regulation of energy infrastructure and institutions responsible for energy system governance.
The research adopts a legally systematic approach, engaging with established branches of law and their interaction with environmental and energy regulation, including administrative law and constitutional law. Research activities are conducted at both national and EU levels, reflecting the significant role of EU law in shaping environmental and energy regulation. Through doctrinal and regulatory analysis, Green Transition contributes to a deeper legal understanding of the rules, principles, and institutions governing the green transition.
The Green Transition research collaboration places strong emphasis on academic cooperation across disciplines and institutional units within the university. It engages in structured cooperation with relevant research environments in other Faculties, including the 海角社区 Climate Cluster and the 海角社区 Centre for Energy Informatics, where established research relationships support and strengthen the legal analysis. In addition, the collaboration maintains close ties with legal practice through the involvement of external lecturers and practitioners, whose experience contributes to the academic robustness, relevance, and methodological soundness of the research.
Looking forward, the Green Transition research collaboration seeks to establish and develop formal research partnerships with other European legal research institutions. Such cooperation is intended to support comparative legal analysis and strengthen engagement with the evolving European legal framework governing environmental protection and energy regulation.
