Statutory control of soil or land contamination is a comparatively new phenomenon for Chinese lawmakers and researchers. After more than ten years of preparation, China recently adopted its first nationwide contaminated land law—the Law of the People’s Republic of China on the Prevention and Control of Soil Contamination, which entered into effect in the beginning of 2019. The law deals exclusively with risk management in connection with soil contamination, and the remediation of contaminated land. This book analyzes various facets of how China is managing the risks associated with soil contamination and remediating contaminated sites by means of legislation. Chapters 1 and 2 reveal the current extent of the soil contamination problem in China and the initial policy responses of the country’s central government. In turn, Chapters 3 and 4 address the regulatory frameworks and the latest contaminated land legislation at both the local and national level. Lastly, Chapters 5 through 9 offer concrete recommendations, based on lessons learned in the US and UK, for reforming contaminated land management in China. Overall, the book covers the past, present and future of contaminated land management in China, making it of interest to environmental policymakers, administrators, academics, lawyers and engineers engaged in soil or environmental protection. Further, it offers a source of reliable information for those who want to learn more about China’s environmental legislation and contaminated land management policy. .Private international lawConflict of lawsSoil scienceSoil conservationEconomic development—Environmental aspectsInternational environmental lawEnvironmental lawEnvironmental policyEcology Private International Law, International & Foreign Law, Comparative Law https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/R14002Soil Science & Conservationhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/U28000Development and Sustainabilityhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/913110International Environmental Lawhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/R19070Environmental Law/Policy/Ecojusticehttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/U16002Terrestial Ecologyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/L19139Private international law.Conflict of laws.Soil science.Soil conservation.Economic development—Environmental aspects.International environmental law.Environmental law.Environmental policy.Ecology .Private International Law, International & Foreign Law, Comparative Law .Soil Science & Conservation.Development and Sustainability.International Environmental Law.Environmental Law/Policy/Ecojustice.Terrestial Ecology.344.51046Zhao Xiaoboauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut787499BOOK9910349372003321Developing an Appropriate Contaminated Land Regime in China1754635UNINA
