The International Workshop on Judicial Services for Green and Low-Carbon Transition and Development, hosted by China's Supreme People's Court, was recently held in Hangzhou, capital of East China's Zhejiang province. 

Representatives from multiple countries and regions exchanged views on topics including China’s newly enacted Ecological and Environmental Code and the legal foundations for promoting green and low-carbon transition.

Green and low-carbon transition has become a shared aspiration of the international community. 

In March, China promulgated the Ecological and Environmental Code,  the country's second fundamental law in codified form following the Civil Code and the world's first code dedicated to ecological and environmental protection. 

The code provides a Chinese law-based solution for global ecological and environmental governance.

Dechen Tsering, director of the Regional Office of Asia Pacific of the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), said the UNEP has maintained close cooperation with China.

She spoke highly of the code and noted that China has shared a large number of representative environmental adjudication cases with countries in Asia and Africa, contributing to environmental governance in those regions.
