Synergy between law and policy: a research on the construction of a multi-stakeholder collaborative governance model for marine blue carbon in China

China’s commitment to its “dual carbon” strategy necessitates robust marine blue carbon governance, a critical green productivity driver. Recent legislative developments, including the Ecological Environmental Code, establish a foundational legal framework. However, specialized regulations remain insufficient, creating bottlenecks in conservation efforts. This research, examining both legal and policy perspectives, identifies key challenges and proposes a collaborative governance model—enhancing legislation, empowering market mechanisms, and integrating regulations—to optimize China’s approach and offer valuable global insights.

Extraterritorial jurisdiction in transboundary marine environmental governance: article 3 of China’s ecological and environmental code and its positioning in the global context

China’s Ecological and Environmental Code introduces a groundbreaking advancement in transboundary marine environmental governance through Article 3, establishing extraterritorial jurisdiction over potential harm – a concrete application of the precautionary principle. This novel legal framework confronts challenges inherent in enforcing such jurisdiction across borders, including evidentiary hurdles and jurisdictional complexities. Addressing these requires an integrated approach, emphasizing tiered risk assessment and collaborative evidence collection, as explored further in our analysis of "Correction: Shoreline dynamics and equilibrium analysis of an artificial sandy beach in Rizhao, China."
