Learning outcomes

The two-semester course Financial Law Tools for Sustainability is divided into two parts. The course Financial Law Tools for Sustainability 1 is based on a combination of concepts from financial law and sustainability. These concepts have become of fundamental importance from both a European and national perspective. Sustainability affects almost all areas. Financial law is a branch of law that plays a crucial role in ensuring sustainability. It encompasses a large number of sub-branches, such as budgetary law, tax law, fee law, and financial system law, which include institutions that have the potential to directly ensure, support, and further develop sustainability. The legal regulation of national and European law in this area is not only extensive but also constantly evolving. In this course, students will gain new knowledge and skills regarding sustainability in the field of financial law, which will help them in their professional careers and support their personal growth. Students will learn the theoretical basics, which they will then be able to apply to practical situations. Connection to SDGs (UN Sustainable Development Goals). Virtually all SDGs are directly relevant to this course, but some are directly linked to it. The course focuses primarily on transnational, but especially national, provision and financing of needs within the framework of sustainability. The subject is linked to or related to SDG 3: Good Health and Well-being, SDG 4: Quality Education, SDG 8: Decent Work and Economic Growth, SDG 9: Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure, SDG 11: Sustainable Cities and Communities, SDG 12: Responsible Consumption and Production, SDG 16: Peace, Justice and Strong Institutions, and SDG 17: Partnerships for the Goals.
Expected learning outcomes: After completing the course, students will be able to: 1. Students will be able to identify and categorize various sources of European and national law in the field of financing sustainability needs from various programs and projects, public finances in the form of, in particular, funds, and will be able to describe and explain how they are obtained and used in specific situations. Furthermore, they will be able to perform in-depth analysis and address legal aspects related to financial sustainability issues and violations of related rules. 2. All student skills are in line with the SDGs listed above, namely SDG 3: Good Health and Well-being, SDG 4: Quality Education, SDG 8: Decent Work and Economic Growth, SDG 9: Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure, SDG 11: Sustainable Cities and Communities, SDG 12: Responsible Consumption and Production, SDG 16: Peace, Justice and Strong Institutions, and SDG 17: Partnerships for the Goals.
