This workshop will combine three presentations about the regulation of environmental pollution in China. The presenters highlight important recent developments in the way pollution regulation functions in China, and demonstrate how actors such as corporations, NGOs and prosecutors have come to play important roles alongside China’s traditional administrative regulatory agencies to shape corporate environmental behavior. The panel will also discuss the conditions under which such plural forms of environmental governance can be successful in dealing with China’s serious pollution challenges.
