The novel "Silent Spring", created in 1962, depicts the sudden changes in a beautiful village with a fable like opening. The novel reveals the reality and serious consequences of environmental pollution, and also triggers people's thinking about the crisis of environmental pollution. Silent Spring first presented the concept of "environmental protection" to the world, triggering environmental movements in the United States and even around the world. It is regarded as the beginning of the global environmental movement, and is widely believed internationally to directly promote the achievement and signing of the Stockholm Convention. The interview with Lv Zhongmei, a representative of the National People's Congress, Vice Chairman of the National People's Congress Environment and Resources Committee, and Vice President of the China Law Society, started with this novel. In Lv Zhongmei's view, establishing "good laws" for "Beautiful China" is the mission of compiling an ecological and environmental code. Compiling an ecological and environmental code with Chinese characteristics and style is China's contribution to the world. Years of research have provided solid theoretical support. In 1979, China formulated its first environmental protection law. The environmental law that Lv Zhongmei was first exposed to during her student years was this law. As for the compilation of environmental codes, scholars conducted specialized research at the beginning of this century to demonstrate their necessity. In Lv Zhongmei's view, the research results of over 40 years of environmental code compilation can provide solid theoretical support for today's ecological environment code compilation. Before being elected as a representative of the 14th National People's Congress, Lv Zhongmei served as a representative of the 10th, 11th, 12th National People's Congress, and a member of the 13th National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference. Over the years, she has been constantly advocating for the compilation of an ecological and environmental code. But she also knows that this will be a long process. In 2017, the Environmental Resources Law Research Association of the China Law Society, chaired by Lv Zhongmei, officially launched the major project of "Environmental Code Compilation Research" just after the completion of the new term. This project includes three sub topics: "Translation of Foreign Environmental Code", "Research on Basic Theory of Environmental Code Compilation", and "Expert Suggested Draft of Environmental Code (Draft)". After more than five years of effort and the collaboration of nearly 200 experts and scholars across the country, the first stage of the research task has been successfully completed. The relevant theoretical research results have been compiled into a series of 17 publications, including the "Green Code Road" series, and a draft of over 1100 expert suggestions for the ecological environment code has been formed. In April 2023, a symposium on the release of the results of the first phase of the "Green Code Road" and the study of code compilation was held in Beijing. It was at this meeting that Lv Zhongmei expressed the hope that the compilation of the Ecological Environment Code could be included as a type of legislative project in the legislative plan of the 14th National People's Congress Standing Committee as soon as possible. This is also the first time she has made such a clear statement in a public collaboration. Previously, in 2021, the legislative work plan of the Standing Committee of the 13th National People's Congress clearly proposed to study and initiate the compilation of environmental codes and other mature legislative fields; The work report of the 13th Standing Committee of the National People's Congress in 2022 proposes to continue promoting the compilation of the Civil Code. A few months later, in September 2023, the legislative plan of the 14th National People's Congress Standing Committee was announced to the public. One of the biggest innovations of this legislative plan is to make special arrangements for the compilation of legal codes in the legislative field where conditions are ripe. The legislative plan specifies the active research and promotion of the Ecological Environment Code and its implementation
