Developing Environmental Law in Developing China

Tianbao Qin, 16 May 2013

With rapid economic growth stressing China's resources and ecology, and in the wake of public health problems, one of the country's top national priorities is promoting harmony within Chinese society, including harmony between human beings and nature. Will the goal of green society be reached through rule of law? What are the achievements and deficiencies of China's environmental protection law? How environmental law is in fact applied at both the local and national levels? What are the major obstacles to the implementation process? The Lecturer would examine the achievements and problems of development of environmental law in a developing China and try to prospect its future development.
