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.

Anais Berthier, head of the Brussels Office of ClientEarth, noted that only by continuously strengthening judicial exchanges and cooperation, ensuring the effective implementation of environmental laws, and upholding the consensus on multilateral cooperation can countries prevent the politicization of environmental issues and jointly address cross-border ecological challenges.
