生态保护红线概念辨析

On the Concept of Ecological Protection Red Line

十八届三中全会提出划定生态保护红线后,各地及各部门均开展了生态保护红线划定的试点工作,工作中对生态保护红线的概念的理解有较大分歧,出现了广义和狭义两种截然不同的理解。2014年我国《环境保护法》首次在立法中提出"生态保护红线",但关于"生态保护红线"概念的争论并没有就此结束。根据历史、文义、目的和体系解释等法律解释方法,《环境保护法》中"生态保护红线"应为狭义概念,即为维护国家生态保护安全而划定的地理区域警戒线,不直接涉及环境污染或资源利用领域。我国应当尽快制定配套法规或规章,明确生态保护红线制度的具体规则。

After the Third Plenary Session of the Eighteenth Central Committee proposed the concept of ecological protection red line,all localities and departments carried out the pilot work,but there were large differences in the understanding of the concept of ecological protection red line,with two dramatically different understandings in broad and narrow senses.In 2014,the ＂Environmental Protection Law＂first proposed the concept,but the debate on it did not end.According to the methods of legal interpretation such as historical interpretation,semantic interpretation,teleological method of interpretation and system interpretation,the ecological protection red line in the＂Environmental Protection Law＂should have a narrow sense,meaning the geographic area warning lines to safeguard national ecological safety,without the function directly involved in environmental pollution and resource utilization.The State should formulate relevant laws and regulations as soon as possible,and clarify the specific rules of the system.
