| description |
The Chinese economy has experienced an
unprecedented 30-year period of economic growth and
development that has delivered enormous social and economic
benefits to the people but has had seriously adverse and
continuing effects on the state of the environment. The
government is well aware of the problem. Over the last five
to ten years, environmental objectives have become
increasingly important in priorities set under successive
national five-year plans. To address these problems, the
government has provided increasingly large infusions of
capital and implemented a series of administrative reforms.
Notwithstanding all these actions, the state of the national
environment continues to deteriorate, and further action is
clearly needed. This policy note focuses particularly on
continuing issues related to the operations of the Ministry
for Environmental Protection (MEP), including the legal
framework under which it operates and its operational
relationships with other agencies at the national level and
with its counterparts at lower levels of government. This
focus is justified given that MEP's effectiveness is
critical to the effectiveness of the government's
overall environmental objectives. Without an effective MEP,
the other elements necessary for China's
environmentally sustainable development will not be able to
achieve these national goals. |
