Jean Monnet Module - Disaster Risk Management in EU Law

Zodpovedný riešiteľ: prof. JUDr. Ing. Ondrej Blažo, PhD.

Realizácia: 2024-2027

Over the past two years, the world has witnessed over fifty natural disasters, with no apparent decrease, potentially linked to climate change. Notably, climate-related extreme events have caused an estimated 487 billion Euros in economic losses across the European Union’s 27 Member States from 1980 to 2020. In response to this stark reality, the Module "Disaster Risk Management in EU Law" takes a human-centric approach to natural hazards, recognizing the deeply personal experiences of individuals with the role of the legal measures of the EU. It focuses on the rights of those affected, acknowledging the dual traumas they endure: the immediate loss of everything built over a lifetime, resulting in economic and psychological harm, and the enduring struggle for normalcy during the reconstruction process. The Module will be based on three teaching "submodules": (1) traditionally former coursed providing fundamental knowledge on the topic, (2) condensed on-two week less formal autumn/summer school and (3) moot court on the topic of disaster law.
