Our programmes cover environmental justice, biodiversity, climate and forests, climate and energy, and health and environment.

About you

ClientEarth’s China Environmental Governance Programme

The Chinese government is currently revamping its system of environmental governance and laws, emphasizing greater government transparency, strengthening public supervision and incorporating rule of law principles.

In 2016 ClientEarth carried out a scoping analysis to better understand the opportunities for strengthening environmental governance and rule of law in China. We also implemented a strong series of cooperation activities with government and the judiciary, which successfully contributed to establishing relations at a very high level, putting ClientEarth in a unique position to help China create a strong, modern, and robustly enforceable environmental and climate law regime. Our activities include:

·         The Supreme People’s Court (SPC) and the Supreme People’s Procuratorate (SPP) – our programme aims to provide support with the drafting of better ‘judicial interpretations’, and to train environmental judges and prosecutors.

Activities include international seminars, assessments of implementation of existing laws and regulations, trainings, exchange visits, comparative studies, etc.
