Strengthening Environmental Governance Around the World

摘要

Joining with our numerous partners, ELI's new China Program will be an indispensable convener and source of clear-thinking expertise on governance and enforcement in responding to the government's increasing commitment to environmental protection. In October 2016, as the new Secretariat of the International Network for Environmental Compliance and Enforcement (INECE), ELI organized and led a program on innovative technologies in enforcement with the Subcommittee on Environmental Enforcement, an affiliate of China's Ministry of Environmental Protection (MEP). And we deepened our cooperative program with the Policy Research Center for Environment and Economy (PRCEE), also an MEP affiliate, on the enforcement and compliance side of permitting. In June, ELI served as an expert presenter on climate litigation at a workshop for the Supreme People's Court and on liability for environmental cleanup and restoration at a workshop for more than 200 judges on China's environmental benches.
