China is moving forward with the legislative process for its draft ecological environment code, as the newly revised draft has been submitted to the Standing Committee of the National People’s Congress for further deliberations. The draft aims to strengthen environmental protection, regulate industrial emissions, and promote sustainable development across the country.
The revised code emphasizes integrated management of air, water, soil, and biodiversity, with stricter enforcement mechanisms and penalties for violations. Officials say the legislation is intended to support China’s long-term ecological goals while balancing economic growth and environmental sustainability.
Experts note that the draft code reflects China’s commitment to green development, aligning national policies with global climate targets and environmental best practices. Once enacted, it is expected to provide a legal framework to guide environmental governance, industrial compliance, and public participation in environmental protection.
