Recently published reports by the Supreme People's Court and the Supreme People's Procuratorate emphasize that China is using the power of law to protect its verdant mountains and emerald waters. Strict legal mechanisms encompass the entire ecological cycle—from pollution control and environmental restoration to green economic transformation—thus facilitating the construction of a "Beautiful China."
Many NPC deputies and CPPCC National Committee members have noted that supporting high-quality development through high standards of environmental protection clearly demonstrates both the determination and flexibility of the legal system in the field of environmental protection.
The Supreme People's Court, acting in accordance with the law, has stepped up its fight against environmental violations, handling nearly 24,000 criminal cases related to natural resources and the environment. The Supreme People's Procuratorate initiated 47,000 cases to protect public interests and recovered 1.03 billion yuan in compensation for environmental damage.
The draft guidelines for the 15th Five-Year Plan call for "improving the quality of the ecological environment, strengthening the environmental safety barrier, and enhancing the drivers of green development." These provisions elicited significant feedback and enthusiasm from members of parliament and the political advisory council.
Fan Qinghua, an NPC deputy and Party Secretary of Greater Xingang Prefecture in Heilongjiang Province, noted that a legal deterrent mechanism has already been established, ensuring that "no one dares or can harm the environment." This serves as a reliable safeguard for environmental protection and supports the transition to a "green" transformation.
China has established over 2,400 specialized judicial bodies and organizations to handle environmental and natural resource-related cases. This gives the country one of the most extensive and comprehensive environmental justice systems in the world. Five sets of 55 Chinese environmental case law cases have already been included in the UN database.
