Research on Legal Regulation of Environmental Risks of Shale Gas Development in China from the Perspective of Risk Prevention
Fully understanding all kinds of environmental risks in shale gas development and carrying on the reasonable prevention and effective regulation by legal means are important guarantees to overcome the neg-ative environmental externalities of shale gas development,accelerate the construction of clean,low-carbon,safe and efficient new energy system,and realize the security of energy supply.The synergy of energy security and environmental security puts forward new requirements for environmental governance of shale gas develop-ment.China's shale gas development environmental risk legal regulation needs to be re-examined from the perspective of risk prevention,and its typical problems such as insufficient legal basis,limited regulatory sys-tem,unclear system content and imperfect regulatory mechanism need to be solved urgently.In this regard,the principle of risk prevention should be introduced,and the four ways of legal framework deduction,subject scope optimization,system content complement,and regulatory mechanism innovation should be promoted in an over-all and orderly way,so as to realize preventive governance of environmental risks of shale gas development.
