Abstract

Against the backdrop of new liberal arts construction in China, traditional legal education faces an urgent need for reform and innovation. “International Environmental Law,” a course that integrates theoretical and practical aspects and demands a high level of interdisciplinary knowledge, is of particular significance in teaching reform. Reforming the teaching of “International Environmental Law” has become a hot topic of common concern in the current construction of the ecological civilization legal system, environmental legal education, and international legal education. This article endeavors to explore the path of teaching reform for “International Environmental Law” in China under the guidance of the new liberal arts concept. It aims to enhance teaching quality to adapt to the current teaching environment by transforming the teaching model, innovating talent cultivation approaches, optimizing teaching content, and improving the evaluation system. Meanwhile, safeguard measures will be adopted from three aspects—the teaching staff, teaching resources, and teaching management systems—to cultivate compound legal talents with innovative and practical abilities and an international perspective.
