In the recent Beijing, the expected sandstorm rolled up a heated discussion on environmental protection and legal responsibility.When the “Yellow Sands” of nature becomes the headlines of social media, we have to think deeply. What is the boundaries of environmental protection?What role does the law play in this contest with nature?

The core of the problem at the beginning: Faced with such large -scale environmental events, the first task is to protect the health and public safety of the people. However, behind this, a problem that cannot be ignored has surfaced -the lack of environmental protection responsibility.The “Environmental Protection Law of the People’s Republic of China” and the “Pollution Prevention and Control Law” clearly stipulate the obligations and responsibilities of governments, enterprises and individuals at all levels in environmental protection.So, in the face of the frequency of sand and dust, should we reflect on, and the implementation of existing laws and regulations and actual effects?

In -depth analysis, environmental protection is not just the government’s responsibility field.The compliance of corporate emission standards and the improvement of the awareness of environmental protection of citizens are all indispensable bricks and tiles that build the Great Great Wall.Taking Beijing as an example, sand dust is not a local generation, but the result of ‘upstream transportation’, which exactly illustrates the cross -border and complexity of environmental problems.In this context, the clause of environmental pollution liability in the infringement liability editor of the Civil Code is particularly important. It clarifies the damage caused by environmental pollution, and pollutors shall bear the infringement liability.However, how to accurately trace the source of pollution and how to achieve effective claims in legal practice is still an obstacle we need to leap.

Further discussions, the predictability and execution of the law are particularly important when facing the emergencies.We need to reflect on whether there are insufficient prevention mechanisms in the current legal system, and whether it can effectively stimulate all sectors of society to participate in environmental protection actions.Sandstorms are not only the alarm bells of natural phenomena, but also torture the environmental protection legal system -how to promote the green development of economic and social through the rigid constraints of the law while respecting the laws of nature?

In conclusion, although the law is not a pitch to solve all environmental problems, it is the cornerstone of building a harmonious relationship.In the face of the future, strengthen the foresight and adaptability of the law, enhance the public’s awareness of environmental protection legal awareness, and strengthen the cross -regional collaboration mechanism, which is essential for reducing and even avoiding such environmental events.We call not only a blue sky, but also in the sky of rule of law, everyone can become the guardian of environmental protection.

Finally, let’s think together. When the sand is dusty, can we learn lessons from it and make the legal responsible sky even more blue?Environmental governance and law are not absent, and everyone should not be absent.
