新《环境保护法》的亮点、不足与展望

十二届全国人大常委会第八次会议表决通过了修订后的《环境保护法》,是中国环境法治建设的重要成就。新《环境保护法》与原《环境保护法》相比具有诸多亮点,如体现和贯彻了"保护优先"的理念,规定了生态保护红线制度、环境与健康监测调查和风险评估制度,明确了环境公益诉讼原告,规定了按日处罚制度。但也存在一些不足之处,如新《环境保护法》仍属管理法而非权利法、没有触及环境保护监督管理体制、环境保护法律体系缺乏合理协调、立法技术不够完善等。今后《环境保护法》的发展应注重从管理法向权利法转变、强化地方监管和建立区域性监管、协调环境保护法律体系。     

Representation of critical natural capital in China

Traditional means of assessing representativeness of conservation value in protected areas depend on measures of structural biodiversity. The effectiveness of priority conservation areas at representing critical natural capital (CNC) (i.e., an essential and renewable subset of natural capital) remains largely unknown. We analyzed the representativeness of CNC‐conservation priority areas in national nature reserves (i.e., nature reserves under jurisdiction of the central government with large spatial distribution across the provinces) in China with a new biophysical‐based composite indicator approach. With this approach, we integrated the net primary production of vegetation, topography, soil, and climate variables to map and rank terrestrial ecosystems capacities to generate CNC. National nature reserves accounted for 6.7% of CNC‐conservation priority areas across China. Considerable gaps (35.2%) existed between overall (or potential) CNC representativeness nationally and CNC representation in national reserves, and there was significant spatial heterogeneity of representativeness in CNC‐conservation priority areas at the regional and provincial levels. For example, the best and worst representations were, respectively, 13.0% and 1.6% regionally and 28.9% and 0.0% provincially. Policy in China is transitioning toward the goal of an ecologically sustainable civilization. We identified CNC‐conservation priority areas and conservation gaps and thus contribute to the policy goals of optimization of the national nature reserve network and the demarcation of areas critical to improving the representativeness and conservation of highly functioning areas of natural capital. Moreover, our method for assessing representation of CNC can be easily adapted to other large‐scale networks of conservation areas because few data are needed, and our model is relatively simple.     

基于优先度的城市避难场所最优投资规划

由于地质条件、人口密度、救灾可达性和灾害风险等不同，需要对城市各个区域避难场所的投资建设进行优先度排序。如何利用有限资金既能保证优先投资区域的避难容量达到规定目标，又能实现整个城市防灾避难规模的最大化，是城市防灾规划建设的重要问题。运用最优化计算理论，给出了基于优先度的最优投资双层规划模型，并举例验证了该模型的可行性。     

从环境保护角度看优先发展卫星城镇建设

城市化进程的加快导致城市规模不断扩大、人口急剧增加,加剧了交通、能源、卫生、环境等一系列自然矛盾和社会矛盾。通过分析中国城市建设布局特点及其弊端对自然和生态环境的影响,提出借鉴发达国家城市规划的先进理念,限制主城区发展、优先建设卫星城镇,以解决城市发展矛盾、促进城市健康发展;并从环境保护的角度,对卫星城镇建设提出合理建议。     

广西海域优先关注问题甄别及对策探讨

《广西北部湾经济区发展规划》已获得国务院批准实施,广西沿海地区进入了快速发展时期。在经济快速发展过程中,海洋环境污染、海洋生态损害、海洋灾害、海洋物理条件改变、海洋环境管理等方面的问题都会存在。针对不同环境问题对食品安全、人群健康、海洋资源、生态系统健康、其他经济和社会价值（如文化价值）等方面的影响,通过采用表格法和权重法,甄别广西海洋优先关注问题,确定各类环境问题优先关注次序,针对这些问题,提出相应的对策。     

防震减灾法与突发事件应对法异同分析

我国现行的法律中,《中华人民共和国防震减灾法》和《中华人民共和国突发事件应对法》是涉及防灾减灾领域的两大主要部门法律。正确认识两部法律的关系对于防震减灾法的准确适用以及防震减灾工作的开展有着重要的意义。本文主要从两大方面对此问题进行了详细分析。第一部分从三个角度阐述了防震减灾法和突发事件应对法之间的相同点;第二部分从两个角度剖析了防震减灾法和突发事件应对法的不同点。     

流域水环境优先控制污染物筛选方法研究

本方法借鉴国内外经验,采用美国环保局工业环境实验室提出的化合物的潜在危害指数来指示物质对环境的毒性,结合某流域丰、平、枯三个水期测定出的有机污染物的检出浓度和检出频次以及流域污染源的检出频次,利用分级、加权法对检出的化合物进行排序,遵循有源、可控的原则,筛选出某流域的优先控制污染物。所提出的方法具有合理性和可操作性。     

基于重金属类有毒空气污染物重点行业分析的优先控制政策研究

我国5种重金属类有毒空气污染物（Pb,Hg,Cd,Cr,As及其化合物）排放量大,不仅严重破坏生态环境,也极大威胁人体健康,亟待完善污染防治政策。本文分析了排放这5种重金属类有毒空气污染物的重点行业,然后基于行业分析结果,提出我国重金属类有毒空气污染物的优先控制政策,为相关管理部门决策提供参考。具体建议如下：第一,优先控制5种重金属类有毒空气污染物;第二,制定重金属类有毒空气污染物排放标准;第三,放源分类管理;第四,多污染物协同控制;第五,提升监管能力;第六,加强宣传教育,鼓励公众监督。     

China's endemic vertebrates sheltering under the protective umbrella of the giant panda

The giant panda attracts disproportionate conservation resources. How well does this emphasis protect other endemic species? Detailed data on geographical ranges are not available for plants or invertebrates, so we restrict our analyses to 3 vertebrate taxa: birds, mammals, and amphibians. There are gaps in their protection, and we recommend practical actions to fill them. We identified patterns of species richness, then identified which species are endemic to China, and then which, like the panda, live in forests. After refining each species' range by its known elevational range and remaining forest habitats as determined from remote sensing, we identified the top 5% richest areas as the centers of endemism. Southern mountains, especially the eastern Hengduan Mountains, were centers for all 3 taxa. Over 96% of the panda habitat overlapped the endemic centers. Thus, investing in almost any panda habitat will benefit many other endemics. Existing panda national nature reserves cover all but one of the endemic species that overlap with the panda's distribution. Of particular interest are 14 mammal, 20 bird, and 82 amphibian species that are inadequately protected. Most of these species the International Union for Conservation of Nature currently deems threatened. But 7 mammal, 3 bird, and 20 amphibian species are currently nonthreatened, yet their geographical ranges are <20,000 km² after accounting for elevational restriction and remaining habitats. These species concentrate mainly in Sichuan, Yunnan, Nan Mountains, and Hainan. There is a high concentration in the east Daxiang and Xiaoxiang Mountains of Sichuan, where pandas are absent and where there are no national nature reserves. The others concentrate in Yunnan, Nan Mountains, and Hainan. Here, 10 prefectures might establish new protected areas or upgrade local nature reserves to national status.
