The Basic Environment Law and The Basic Environment Plan.

Abstract

In its first chapter, the Basic Environment Law sets out three basic principles for environmental conservation and the responsibilities of each sector of the society -- including the national and local governments, corporations, and citizens -- in living up to these principles. The second chapter gives a list of basic policies for environmental conservation, including the formulation of the Basic Environment Plan, promotion of environmental impact assessment, new policy measures such as economic measures to clear obstacles from environmental conservation practices, and measures to deal with global environmental problems. The third chapter stipulates councils needed to develop the policies listed in chapter two.
