Abstract

Chinese enterprises investing in the "Belt and Road Initiative" are confronted with environmental legal risks arising from energy and resource construction, green trade barriers, and corporate environmental responsibilities. They should fully utilize the dispute resolution mechanisms of international environmental treaties, actively and proactively carry out practical negotiations on environmental and trade agreements, make full use of the environmental review mechanism in the Convention on International Investment Guarantee Agency, completely familiarize themselves with and master the environmental legal information and typical judicial precedents of the host countries, strengthen environmental supervision of overseas investment enterprises, standardize corporate environmental social responsibilities, improve the environmental impact assessment system for overseas investments, and enhance cooperation among environmental non-government organizations in the countries along the line.
