Abstract
Against the background of the continuous advancement of the “dual carbon” goals, university carbon emission courses have become a key carrier for conveying green low-carbon concepts and cultivating professional talents. From the perspective of the needs of curriculum teaching reform, this paper first briefly elaborates on the value implications of integrating the green low-carbon concept into university carbon emission course teaching from two aspects: talent cultivation and university responsibilities. On the one hand, this initiative is an important means to cultivate students’ low-carbon literacy and improve their practical abilities; on the other hand, it is an inevitable requirement for universities to actively promote green campus construction and assume social responsibilities. On this basis, this paper specifically expounds the practical pathways of integrating the green low-carbon concept into university carbon emission course teaching, hoping to provide theoretical support and practical guidance for the teaching reform of university carbon emission courses, promote the transformation of courses from the previous “knowledge transmission” to “literacy cultivation”, and thus make a modest contribution to the cultivation of compound low-carbon talents and the realization of the national “dual carbon” goals.
