What the paper says

Despite significant efforts towards decarbonization, China’s progress in climate legislation has been relatively slow. This paper explores China’s current climate laws and the institutional approach behind the legislating efforts, identifying a central challenge: the lack of coordination among laws enacted at different times with varied focuses. It argues that a dedicated climate law could enhance accountability for climate goals and address the gaps in climate litigation. The paper also reviews China’s lawmaking institutions, discussing the roles and interactions of key players in shaping climate governance. Additionally, it compares legislative models from other countries, proposing components that could be adapted for China. The paper concludes with recommendations for a comprehensive climate legislation framework in China.
