The Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) Law was revised on July 2

    On July 2, the Environmental Impact Assessment Law (EIA Law) was amended at the 21st session of the Standing Committee of the Twelfth National People's Congress of the People's Republic of China. By weakening the administrative examination and approval, strengthening the planning of the EIA, and increasing the punishment, the newly revised EIA Law aims to achieve the goal of reducing environmental pollution from the source. China’s growing rule of law and public environmental awareness show promising initial signs of success. The environmental challenges in China today are immense, but so are the opportunities for environmental improvement if the legal tools and involvement of the public, so effective elsewhere, can be harnessed in the name of environmental protection.
