The Doctor of Philosophy in Environmental Law is a postgraduate research programme offered at the University of Nairobi through the Centre for Advanced Studies in Environmental Law and Policy (CASELAP). The programme trains scholars to conduct advanced research on environmental law, policy, and governance, contributing to environmental regulation, natural resource management, and sustainable development in Kenya and globally. Students engage with advanced environmental law, international environmental law, climate change law, natural resource law, environmental governance, and research methodology. The programme combines coursework with thesis research, requiring candidates to develop a research proposal, conduct independent legal and field research, and produce a doctoral dissertation that makes an original contribution to environmental law. Kenya has a comprehensive environmental legal framework including the Constitution, EMCA, and the Climate Change Act, but faces implementation challenges including enforcement gaps, land use conflicts, and natural resource degradation. The programme addresses national priorities under Vision 2030 by training researchers who can strengthen environmental governance, inform policy reform, and contribute to environmental justice. Teaching methods include lectures, legal research seminars, case analysis, field research on environmental compliance, and supervised thesis work. Students have access to CASELAP's environmental law resources and collaborate with NEMA, the Judiciary, and the Ministry of Environment. Graduates pursue careers as university lecturers, environmental law researchers, environmental lawyers, legal advisors, and policy analysts in universities, law firms, government, NEMA, UNEP, and international environmental organisations. This programme is ideal for holders of a Master's degree in environmental law, law, environmental policy, or related fields who are committed to advancing knowledge in environmental law and governance.
