ABSTRACT

The study of environmental code in Chinese academia began in the late 1980s with discussions on systematizing environmental law. For decades, scholars have debated the necessity, conditions, mode, and content of environmental codification, presenting various theories. This paper summarizes the progress and key debates in environmental law codification, identifies remaining conceptual and technical obstacles, and aims to shape a robust legal framework to support ecological civilization.
