Abstract

Environmental judicial cooperation is a powerful tool for ecological environmental governance in the Yangtze River Basin. As a giant ecological system, the Yangtze River Basin needs to emphasize the special characteristics of the Basin in judicial protection concepts and measures. The construction of a beautiful China has put forward higher requirements for ecological and environmental governance. The Yangtze River Basin has seen its provinces and cities actively exploring judicial coordination practices with notable results. However, an analysis of these practices reveals disparities in the pace and focus of reforms, along with issues such as inadequate legislative supply, incomplete judgment mechanism construction, and poor coordination among collaborative entities. Given the holistic and systematic nature of the Yangtze River Basin, advancing common legislation within the basin, establishing specialized environmental judicial institutions, and enhancing the long-term mechanisms for the interface between judicial and enforcement activities can effectively innovate the judicial collaboration mechanisms for environmental governance. These measures will contribute judicial insights to balancing ecological and environmental protection with joint governance, ensuring sustainable economic and social development in the Yangtze River Basin.

Protecting and utilizing the water resources in Yangtze River Basin has seen many problems and difficulties. In view of this,we discussed the paths of reconstructing and improving the management system and mechanism in the new era. To break the system and mechanism barriers in sustainable development,the management of water resources in the Yangtze River Basin should conform to the integrity and complexity of the basin. In the framework of coordination across the basin,we recommend to 1)build a sound system which integrates unified and separate management with overall linkage and interactions to forge a governance community for the basin with multiple stakeholders;2)enhance the mechanisms of diversified ecological compensation,cross-provincial river-lake-chief supervision,unified dispatch and management of controlling water projects,as well as spatial control and market operation. With such endeavors,the governance of water resources in Yangtze River Basin is expected to be further modernized.
