Developing curricula at university levels within the faculties of law related to environmental legislation and international humanitarian law. The concept of legal protection of the environment is a broad concept and is constantly changing because the areas of protection embodied by these rules cannot be known in advance because the world and the environment are in constant change, so it is necessary to develop legislation and laws related to the environment continuously with the development of the world. There must be strong and strict departments to implement the laws related to the environment without taking into consideration only the protection of the environment. The presence of a strong administration has an important role because of the powers of the public authority, especially the authority to control the activities practiced by individuals. There must be a strict and deterrent judiciary in the application of laws related to the environment by providing and training qualified judges specialized in considering environmental issues in their civil and criminal aspects, and for environmental issues to take the nature of urgency in order to be able to control environmental damages as quickly as necessary.
