Foreword
This book was written for college students both at the graduate and undergraduate
level, as well for anyone interested in learning about China’s environmental man-
agement. The core of this book is to comprehensively and systematically summarize
the policies and systems development of China’s environmental management. It has
been more than 40 years since the initiation of China’s environmental management
through participating in the United Nations Conference on the Human Environment
(the Stockholm Conference) in 1972. With reform and opening up, fast national
economic growth, prompt social progress, and increasing public environmental
awareness, the guiding ideology of China’s environmental management has under-
gone the evolution from the basic national policy to the sustainable development
strategy, to the scientific outlook on development, and to the ecological civilization.
Meanwhile, through continuous evolution, retrospection, and innovation, the envi-
ronmental policies and the environmental management system are becoming more
and more matured, gradually.
In order to promote the socialism with Chinese characteristics and to build a
sustainable and beautiful China, the “Five-in-One” Strategy was proposed during
the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China (the NCCPC), in
which ecological civilization construction, economic construction, political con-
struction, cultural construction, and social construction shall be thoroughly inte-
grated, to further facilitate and expedite the development of China’s environmental
management, with the more explicit goal, more thorough system, and more rigorous
content. In general, since the 18th NCCPC, the core thoughts of China’s envi-
ronmental management are to improve the environmental quality, to facilitate
collaborative environmental governance based on the most stringent institutional
construction, to strengthen the liability system of environmental protection, and to
promote development transformation driven by environmental protection, so as to
achieve the green development goals.
This book has presented the authentic, multi-faceted, and overall perspective of
China’s environmental management and demonstrated China’s determination and
efforts in promoting green development of Belt and Road Initiative. Greatly ben-
efited from the precious experiences of Western Countries and the practical

Chapter 2
Evolution of China’s Environmental
Policy
Environmental protection movements in China were not initiated until the 1970s.
Though ecological degradation and environmental pollution had gradually emerged,
locally and regionally, along with rapid economic growth and drastic social devel-
opment, not much attention was paid and concrete environmental protection mea-
sures were rare. The development of China’s environmental protection measures
received a great boost, with its participation in the United Nations Conference on the
Human Environment held in Stockholm in June 1972, following which the Chinese
government began to institute policies and guidelines for national environmental
protection.
During the United Nations Conference on the Human Environment, eight princi-
ples for environmental protection, namely, overall planning, rational layout, com-
prehensive utilization, turning disadvantage into advantage, relying on the public,
all-people participation, protecting environment, and benefiting the people, were first
proposed by China. In August 1973, these eight principles, known as the ‘32-Chinese-
Characters Principles’, were approved as the guidelines for environmental protection
by the First National Conference on Environmental Protection held in Beijing, and
were reaffirmed in the first national document of China’s environmental protection,
Several Regulations Concerning Protecting and Improving Environment (on Trial
Draft), and the Law of the People’s Republic of China on Environmental Protection
(on Trial), promulgated on September 13, 1979. Moreover, in these eight principles,
the objectives and basic measures for environmental protection were clearly clari-
fied, the general principles and direction for the implementation of environmental
protection stipulated, and some key aspects and major issues of environmental pro-
tection identified. During the 1970s, a series of environmental management schemes
