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.

From the Civil Code, which focuses on people, to the Ecological and Environmental Code, which focuses on nature, China has taken a holistic approach to the relationship between humanity and nature. 

Through a systematic legal framework, it responds to common challenges facing humanity, including environmental pollution, biodiversity loss and climate change and promotes the harmonious coexistence between humanity and nature through the rule of law.
