Legal Considerations on China's Carbon Neutrality Promotion Law – A Case Study of Smoking Control Regulations in Public Places

Abstract

The process of formulating the Carbon Neutrality Promotion Law is a purpose-driven legislative process in essence, which is a significant theoretical innovation and practical breakthrough. It is necessary to change the concept, establish a new model of legislation, and build a low-carbon social relationship. It is also necessary to reshape the management system through the confirmation of legal responsibility, establish new norms for the dual carbon target, and transform all policies and economic and technological measures for the dual carbon target into codes of conduct through legislation, which can be widely recognized and observed by the society. Therefore, it is necessary to further deepen the understanding of the Carbon Neutrality Promotion Law and interpret the Carbon Neutrality Promotion Law from the perspective of jurisprudence: clarify the legal basis of the Carbon Neutrality Promotion Law, realize the transition from policy to jurisprudence, and make effective connection between international law and domestic law. In terms of specific content, the Carbon Neutrality Promotion Law should clarify the competent authorities, clarify the government's management functions to deal with the dual carbon target, and establish a carbon peak and carbon neutrality system.The formation of regulations on the control of smoking in public places guides the control of smoking from the legal level. Effective smoking control will be implemented.
