Person profile
Ympäristö- ja ilmasto-oikeuden tutkimus opetus sekä yhteiskunnallinen vaikuttaminen laajasti ymmärrettynä.
Olen toiminut talousoikeuden professorina 1.1.2000 alkaen ja tutkimusintressini ovat laajasti ympäristöoikeudellisia pitäen sisällään ainakin ympäristön pilaantumisen ehkäisemistä koskevan lainsäädännön, luonnonsuojelulainsäädännön, maankäytö- ja rakentamisen sääntelyn, vesioikeuden ja ilmastosääntelyn. Erityisenä kiinnostuksen kohteenani on nykyisin ilmastonmuutoksen hillitsemiseen ja siihen sopeutumiseen liittyvä ympäristö- ja energiaoikeudellinen sääntely laajasti ymmärrettynä, jolloin siihen kuuluu ylikansallisen sääntelyn (ilmastonmuutossopimus/Kioto ja EU:n ilmastosääntely päästökauppoineen ja muine toimineen) ja ohjauksen lisäksi kansallinen lainsäädäntö mukaan lukien perinteinen ympäristöoikeudellinen normisto.
