Marjan Peeters holds the position of Professor of Environmental Policy and Law (personal chair). Marjan started in 1987 with studying environmental law. Since then, she has been focusing on understanding how a high level of environmental protection can be effectively and efficiently reached based on the rule of law and in the context of sustainable development. Core research attention goes to legal aspects of climate change, regulatory instruments for emission reduction, and the way how law deals with uncertain risks. Marjan has co-edited more than 6 books in the field of EU environmental and climate law, and she has supervised - and is still supervising - several PhD projects.

The most recent book is Climate Change Law (2016), co-edited with Daniel A Farber.

Since February 2012 Marjan is connected for one day a week to the International Centre for Integrated Assessment and Sustainable Development (ICIS) at Maastricht University where she provides a law course in the master Sustainability Science and Policy. Marjan is a member of METRO (Institute for Transnational Legal Research) and of the Maastricht Centre of European Law.
