Features: Since the late 1990s, the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress has revised the "Law of the People's Republic of China on the Protection of the Marine Environment," "Law of the People's Republic of China on the Prevention and Control of Air Pollution," "Land Administration Law," "Forestry Law," "Fisheries Law," and "Water Law." New environmental protection laws such as the "Law of the People's Republic of China on Combating Desertification" and the "Promotion of Clean Production Law" have been promulgated. The State Council has formulated (revised) environmental protection regulations such as the "Regulations on Environmental Protection of Construction Projects," "Regulations on the Safe Management of Hazardous Chemicals," and "Regulations on the Management of Pesticides." The United Nations held the World Summit on Sustainable Development, adopting documents such as the "Programme of Implementation" and the "Johannesburg Commitment on Sustainable Development." China held the Fifth National Conference on Environmental Protection, proposing to strengthen environmental pollution prevention and ecological protection and implement the "Fifteenth Five-Year Plan for Environmental Protection" to achieve sustainable development. The fourth edition of the "Textbook on Environmental Protection Law" has been revised based on the aforementioned laws, regulations, and recent developments in international environmental protection law. It particularly emphasizes the integration of theory with practice and strengthens the content on legal liability. This "Textbook" can be used as a compulsory course for universities and colleges, an elective course for related disciplines, a training manual for environmental protection supervision and management departments, and a reference for environmental protection management departments and enterprises and institutions.
