Elena Carpanelli

Elena Carpanelli is an Associate Professor in the Department of Law, Political and International Studies at the University of Parma. She teaches International Law, Climate Change and Sustainability Law, International Litigation, and Negotiation and Mediation across Law (5-year), Political Sciences (Bachelor's), and Global Politics (Master's) programs.

Her research spans International Law, Human Rights, Climate Change, and Space Law, focusing on environmental justice in African courts, space tourism regulation, cultural rights in climate litigation, and state responsibility for surveillance technology exports. Her work addresses evolving international legal frameworks confronting global challenges.

Recent publications (2023-2025) demonstrate interdisciplinary analysis of emerging issues: toxic waste dumping before the African Court, space pollution, due regard obligations in space activities, cultural rights in climate change, and technology exports linked to human rights abuses. These reveal a consistent theme of applying international law to novel environmental, technological, and human rights contexts.
