Bie Tao introduced that in the past ten years, in terms of ecological and environmental legislation, the implementation of the central ecological civilization reform has been made by strengthening environmental legislation, and reform measures have been based on the law. Promote the elevation of a number of reform measures for ecological civilization and ecological environment protection into laws. The national ecological and environmental protection laws have been comprehensively reconstructed in accordance with the overall requirements of ecological civilization construction.
First, improve the "Basic Law" of the ecological environment. In 2014, the basic and comprehensive laws in the field of ecological environment were comprehensively revised - " Environmental Protection Law ". New Environmental Protection Law has made major breakthroughs in innovating environmental protection concepts, strengthening government responsibilities, improving regulatory systems, increasing punishment efforts, promoting information disclosure, and introducing public interest litigation. It has established penalties such as daily continuous fines, and is known as the "strictest environmental protection law in history".
The second is to improve the single-item method of the ecological environment. Focusing on the prominent environmental issues that the people feel the most deeply and urgently demand, we cooperate with the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress to formulate and revise a number of special laws in the fields of pollution prevention and control, such as air, water, soil, solid waste, noise, radioactivity, and laws on wetland protection, biosecurity, and ecological elements such as biosecurity, and use the rule of law to defend blue sky, clear water, and clean land.
The third is to innovate river basin and regional ecological environment legislation. Cooperate with the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress to formulate the Yangtze River Protection Law and the Black Soil Protection Law, promote the Yellow River Protection Law and the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau ecological protection legislation, and comprehensively improve the "ecological appearance" of green waters and green mountains. Support coordinated legislation on the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region, Yangtze River Delta , Baiyangdian watershed, and pass the "Xiao Kuailing" legislation to solve cross-regional ecological environment problems, and promote the high-quality development of regional .
Fourth, build a more scientific and reasonable ecological and environmental supervision system. Promote the establishment of a fixed pollution source management system with the pollutant discharge permit system as the core. Improve basic systems such as environmental impact assessment, total control, environmental standards, environmental monitoring, and law enforcement supervision. Establish a legal accountability mechanism for severe punishment and heavy punishment.
Fifth, accelerate the construction of party regulations and strengthen the responsibilities of the party committee and government. Cooperate with the formulation and implementation of special party regulations such as central ecological environment protection inspection and party and government leading cadres’ responsibility for ecological environment damage, strengthen the central government’s inspection and accountability of local party committees and government ecological environment protection work, and promote the implementation of ecological environment protection "party and government share responsibility, one post, two responsibilities " for ecological environment protection.
