On Optimization Paths for the Environmental Legal Responsibility System Under Codification:An Empirical Analysis Based on 162 Legal Responsibility Clauses
Amid ecological civilization construction,codifying China's environmental law requires a systematic and authoritative responsibility framework to address governance complexities.Current responsibility clauses are scattered across laws,leading to conflicts and overlaps.Through an empirical analysis of 162 clauses in nine key environmental laws,this paper identifies issues like diversified responsible entities,overlapping departmental duties,and misalignment between behavior and legal consequences.It proposes optimizing the Ecological and Environmental Code by clarifying responsibilities,standardizing cross-departmental collaboration,and improving safeguards to establish a scientifically grounded,enforceable system supporting the rule of law in ecological civilization.
