Summary

General Secretary Xi Jinping has pointed out that protecting the ecological environment is protecting productivity, and improving the ecological environment is developing productivity. A sound ecological environment is an inherent requirement for the sustainable development of the Chinese nation and a priority area for enhancing people's wellbeing. This book covers eight commonly used laws in the field of ecological and environmental protection, namely the Environmental Protection Law, the Environmental Impact Assessment Law, the Water Pollution Prevention and Control Law, the Air Pollution Prevention and Control Law, the Soil Pollution Prevention and Control Law, the Noise Pollution Prevention and Control Law, the Solid Waste Pollution Prevention and Control Law, and the Marine Environment Protection Law, helping readers to promptly master the legal documents currently in force. The legal documents are arranged by degree of relatedness rather than by date of promulgation, so that readers can conveniently consult and use them on a particular category of issues and avoid missing the relevant provisions of key laws.

Editor's review

As a thematic legal compilation edited by the Laws and Regulations Editorial Center and published by China Democracy and Legal System Publishing House Co., Ltd., the core value of this book lies in its systematicity and practicality. It is not an academic monograph but a tool book tailored for practitioners. The Environmental Protection Law, Environmental Impact Assessment Law, Water Pollution Prevention and Control Law, Air Pollution Prevention and Control Law, Soil Pollution Prevention and Control Law, Noise Pollution Prevention and Control Law, Solid Waste Pollution Prevention and Control Law, and Marine Environment Protection Law included in the book constitute the most core pillars of China's ecological and environmental protection legal system. The editorial center's compilation approach is clear: it presents dispersed standalone laws together, making it easy for users to quickly cross-reference and index, and it is especially suitable for legal research and provision comparison in specific cases or projects.

In terms of depth of content, the book faithfully presents the texts of the laws without excessive subjective interpretation or case annotations, which is both its strength and its limitation. The strength is that it ensures the authority and accuracy of the original legal texts and provides professional users with the most reliable primary basis; the limitation is that for legal beginners or those who need to understand the legislative intent and practical difficulties behind the provisions, it may seem somewhat 'dry' and needs to be used together with other explanatory books or case collections.

Against the current background of China's continuous promotion of ecological civilization construction and increasingly strict environmental enforcement, the practical significance of such a compilation is particularly prominent. It brings together the 'basic laws' in various fields of pollution prevention and control, helping readers quickly build an overall understanding of China's environmental legal framework and understand the similarities, differences, and connections among legal systems for pollution prevention and control in different media (water, air, soil, noise, solid waste). For those engaged in environmental management, corporate compliance, legal consulting, engineering construction, and related fields, this book is a regular tool to keep at hand for reference.

Reading tips

  1. It is recommended to use this book as a 'dictionary'-style tool book, consulting relevant legal chapters as needed when specific issues arise, rather than reading it from beginning to end
  2. When reading, focus on the chapters on 'Supervision and Management,' 'Legal Liability' (penalty provisions), and 'Prevention and Control Measures' in each law, as these are the core of practical application
  3. Study together with policy interpretations, relevant technical standards, or guiding case compilations published on the official website of the Ministry of Ecology and Environment to gain a deeper understanding of the implementation and application of legal provisions
