气候变化适应性问题对我国环境法律的挑战

Climate change issues concerning the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions have drawn great attention throughout the world. By contrast, the impact on the environment posed by climate change is not paid enough attention, let alone the impact of adaptation to climate change on environmental law. The law related to climate change in China is mitigation-oriented, and there are few relevant laws and regulations on adaptation to climate change. The uncertainty, inevitability, irreversibility and universality of climate change bring new challenges to the assumption basis of environmental policy and laws, goals of environmental laws and existing environmental systems. What is most urgent is to find out the essential difference between climate change and traditional environmental issues and the feasibility of bringing climate change issues into existing environmental laws.
