Study on the international protection mechanism of environmental justice under the “One Belt, One Road” initiative ——Based on the perspective of law and economics

Abstract

Since ancient times, “Silk Road” has been the important trade route linking Asia, Europe and Africa. In 2013, President Xi Jinping proposed a new strategy for building the “New Silk Road Economic Belt” and “21st Century Maritime Silk Road” on the ancient Silk Road. Together, they are also called “One Belt, One Road.” Its establishment aims at deepening the economic cooperation between our country and its neighboring countries and neighboring regions, including language, culture and religion. Since the “One Belt, One Road” economic belt involves as many as 64 countries in the country, the legal provisions, the status quo of the environment and the political factors are numerous and difficult to adjust. After collecting the data of important countries along the economic belt, this paper analyzes and contrasts them. Then it studies the existing international protection mechanism, sums up the challenge of establishing the international protection mechanism and feasible suggestions to promote the healthy and steady development of “One Belt, One Road” economic belt. At the same time all countries are developing their economies, how to reduce environmental pollution and maintain ecological balance are the primary issues in the development of “One Belt, One Road” economic belt.
