The aim of the project is to develop, test and adapt new curricula in the field of Climate Change (CC) Law. Specifically, the integration of an multidisciplinary educational programme on Global CC Policy and Law, offered at a level of Postgraduate diploma (PGDIp) or alternatively as LL.M depending on each Partner HEI final decision, will aim to address the need of a new generation of post-graduates in a LLM that will acquire a high-level expertise on environmental policies and CC law.

The CCP_LAW project will support Malaysia, India and Vietnam to address the challenges facing their higher education systems by improving its quality and relevance for the labour market.

Therefore, the project will improve the level of competences and skills in the HEIs by developing a new and innovative ICT-based education program and by applying best practices pedogeological methodologies among academics and learners.  The new postgraduate courses will first of all support the modernization, accessibility and internationalization of higher education in Malaysia, India and Vietnam. Creation of CCP_ Law Centers in all the Law Departments of the Asian HEIs will support the capacity to network effectively in research and the ability to create links with the institutional efforts for CC policy-making.
