Under the background of globalization, transnational environmental disputes are constantly emerging, which seriously affects the international environmental order and the relations between countries. This article discusses the solution of transnational environmental disputes from the perspective of international law. By systematically sorting out the main settlement modes such as diplomatic negotiation and consultation, international arbitration and international justice, this article deeply analyzes the difficulties faced by each mode in practice, such as jurisdiction conflict, legal application problems, difficulties in obtaining and identifying evidence and obstacles in the execution of awards. It is found that there are many shortcomings in the existing solutions, and it is difficult to effectively deal with complex and changeable transnational environmental disputes. Based on this, this article puts forward some suggestions, such as perfecting the rules of international law, strengthening international cooperation and coordination, promoting the integration of diversified dispute settlement mechanisms and strengthening the enforcement mechanism of awards. This aims to build a more systematic and efficient transnational environmental dispute resolution system to promote global environmental governance and sustainable development.
