The Brief Analysis of the codification of China's Environmental Law

Environmental Law in China has achieved continuous development after decades of legal construction and judicial practice. So far, China’s environmental law legal system has been preliminarily established. At the same time, with the development of the global economy and the changes in the national conditions of China’s economic development, the promulgation of the Chinese Civil Code has led to an increasing call for the promulgation of the Chinese Environmental Law Code. In this context, this paper takes the codification of China’s environmental law as the research object, using the methods of historical analysis, literature analysis, and comparative analysis. The first section points out the background and significance of the codification of environmental law, the second section discusses the necessity and feasibility of codification of environmental law, and the third section compares the environmental law codes of other countries, summarizes the experience and lessons, and finally puts forward ideas for the framework of China’s environmental law code, and puts forward suggestions for improving the legal effect of environmental law code.
