The Binary Logic of the Compilation of the Ecological Environment Code and Its Unfolding

The Ecological Environment Code,as a significant legal instrument for the evolution of ecological civilization,possesses both substantive and formal dimensions.First,it aims to serve the national ecological civilization strategy.Second,it elucidates potential pathways for legal interpretation,development of legal rules,and promotion of judicial governance,restraining arbitrary behavior and disorder while facilitating systemic cohesion.The compilation of the Ecological Environment Code unfolds through the main threads of substantive and formal logic.By prioritizing conservation,protection,and restoring the natural environment,resource management,pollution prevention,and ecological protection are coordinated,integrating legislation on ecological protection with management of natural resources and pollution prevention to achieve both"harm avoidance"and"beneficial trends."Employing the formal logical main thread of the structure of the relationship between power and rights,we present four types of norms:ex post facto remedy,hazard prevention,risk prevention,and independent value selection.
