  Building on existing literature on university legal education for energy and climate change law, this article presents a novel course on the law of energy transition, financed by the European Union. The article delves into the emergence of the idea for the project, the development of the proposal for the course to the European Commission, and the first offering of the course ‘EU-US Comparative Climate Change and Energy Transition Law', which ran from February to April 2019. The article is framed around the emerging trends towards internationalisation and digitalisation of legal education, which are essential features of the TUCCCEL programme.

  Electricity generation in Norway is almost totally based on renewable energy sources, mostly hydropower (96.3% in 2016), followed by thermal power (2.3%) and wind power (1.4%). The price of electricity for end-users is also relatively low compared to the rest of Europe. The absence of an immediate need to ‘green’ the energy generation mix any further or to generate cheaper electricity explains the absence, for the majority of energy consumers, of a strong need to start producing electricity themselves and to turn into prosumers. Meanwhile, households and other small energy consumers are becoming increasingly aware of the existing opportunities and may find new financial motivations in higher electricity prices. Together with the direct grants provided by the state enterprise Enova SF for the installation of renewable energy solutions, one of the strongest signals given by the Government in favour of prosumption comes from a recent amendment to the network tariffs legislation, which now provides a clear legal basis for the regime applicable to prosumers, focusing on residential prosumers, small businesses and buildings. This chapter discusses the changes that have been made to the Norwegian legal regime to accommodate the development of prosumers. Section 2 examines how the law defines the concept of prosumers. Section 3 discusses permitting requirements and the prosumers’ rights and duties as to grid and market access. Section 4 gives an overview of the existing financial incentives in favour of prosumption. Section 5 concludes with an assessment of the current legal regime.

  The Law of the Seabed reviews the most pressing legal questions raised by the use and protection of natural resources on and underneath the world’s seabeds. While barely accessible, the seabed plays a major role in the Earth’s ecological balance. It is both a medium and a resource, and is central to the blue economy. New uses and new knowledge about seabed ecosystems, and the risks of disputes due to competing interests, urge reflection on which regulatory approaches to pursue. The regulation of ocean activities is essentially sector-based, and the book puts in parallel the international and national regimes for seabed mining, oil and gas, energy generation, bottom fisheries, marine genetic resources, carbon sequestration and maritime security operations, both within and beyond the national jurisdiction. The book contains seven parts respectively addressing the definition of the seabed from a multidisciplinary perspective, the principles of jurisdiction delimitation under the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS), the regimes for use of non-living, living and marine biodiversity resources, the role of state and non-state actors, the laying and removal of installations, the principles for sustainable and equitable use (common heritage of mankind, precaution, benefit sharing), and management tools to ensure coexistence between activities as well as the protection of the marine environment.

  Frankrike har vært kjernekraftlandet, litt i skyggen av Storbritannia og Tyskland i klima- og energipolitikken i Europa. Landet får fortsatt 75 prosent av sin energiforsyning fra kjernekraft. Men dette skal ned til 50 prosent i løpet av 2020-årene, og vind og sol skal trappes opp for å supplere vannkraft (som er viktigst innen fornybar energi så langt). Nå har Brexit og interne politiske konflikter i Tyskland svekket disse to tungvekternes rolle i EUs klimapolitikk. Emmanuel Macron som ble president i mai 2017 og hans regjering har lansert flere initiativer, både når det gjelder videre styrking av fornybarpolitikken og klimakvotesystemet. Hva er så status for politikken på disse områdene? Hva er sentrale bakgrunnsfaktorer? Hvor går Frankrike videre i denne sammenhengen? Disse spørsmålene diskuterer vi i denne artikkelen.
