ZHANGYulin
Abstract: With the acceleration of global species extinction, biodiversity loss and ecosystem degradation are posing a major risk to human survival and development.As an important part of the overall crisis, China′s biological extinction and biosafety problems are also serious: China′s extinction risk of mammals is higher than the world average level;the proportion of threatened species in higher plants is up to 15%~20%;the germplasm resources of cultivated plants are declining;the "field loss" of wild relatives of crops is extremely serious;pest threats are increasing;a large number of local livestock and poultry, especially local native species, have disappeared; the fish species in the Yangtze River basin may have decreased by 30%.The invasion of alien species also poses a great risk.In order to effectively deal with the global biodiversity crisis and ecosystem crisis, protection in a general sense is not enough.What we need is a green transformation of the whole social and economic system.

HUANQingzhi,CHENYiwen
Abstract: The "marine ecological civilization and its construction" can be summarized as the theoretical thinking and policy practice of ecological civilization and its construction related to the marine field.Acting as a public policy, the "marine ecological civilization construction" originates and evolves from the boosting realistic requirements of developing marine economy, handling marine ecological challenges, and reinforcing national marine security.Under the civil political consensus and national strategy of "vigorously promoting the construction of ecological civilization and building a beautiful China", the "marine ecological civilization and its construction" has gradually formed a more integrated theoretical discourse and policy practice system.The "national marine ecological civilization construction demonstration zone", which officially started in early 2013, has played an important role in promoting and leading marine ecological civilization construction, although the completeness of the "marine ecological civilization and its construction" as an academic theoretical system and policy discourse system and the effectiveness of its realistic practice should not be overestimated.

ZHOUXiang,XIAMeng
Abstract:Amendment8totheCriminalLawofthePeople′sRepublicofChinaannounced amendment to Article 338 of the criminal law,revising the crime as the crime of environmental pollution.The amendment does not make the form of the crime clear though, resulting in a debate among the theory circle.In order to realize the fairness of judicial judgment and promote the development of theory, we should pay attention to the research on the crime form of environmental pollution crime.The theory of negligence has no theoretical foundation, and cannot explain the accomplice in the crime of environmental pollution.Therefore, the fault form of the crime cannot be negligence.It does not apply to the mixed fault theory.The crime form of environmental pollution crime can only be explained with deliberately theory.The determination of the intention of the environmental pollution crime should strictly abide by the principle of combining cognitive factors with will factors.Meanwhile, in practice, environmental pollution crime and the crime of endangering public security should be distinguished in strict accordance with the provisions.

ZHONGXingju,LUOShixing
Abstract: The public has become an important part of environmental governance.However, there is a lack of attention to the definition, action logic and practice types of public participation in the current research.According to the comparative analysis of typical cases, this paper clarifies the connotation of public participation firstly, and construct a typological analysis framework of "Victim-related-Environmental Knowledge-Environmental Mission" in perspective of public participation process.The study found that:(1)The "public" in environmental governance can be divided into four types: victims, stakeholders, informed public and the general public and they have various participation visions in turn: the silent majority or campaign-style participation, collective protest, mission-based participation, and watch-and-wait participation.(2)The practical types of public participation in environmental governance depends on the sequential influence of three important factors: the degree of victimization related to environmental pollution distance is the primary prerequisite, and the type of environmental knowledge determines the choice of individual or organizational participation paths, and the mission for the environmental public interest is an important guarantee for sustainable participation.(3)Mission-based participation with organization is a possible way to improve the effectiveness and sustainability of public participation in governance.Therefore, in a specific situation, from the perspective of dynamic process, the public participation environmental governance has a diversified path model and result forms, which cannot be generalized.The findings have important practical guiding significance to optimize the path of organizing and institutionalizing public participation in environmental governance and to improve the public participation ability accurately and efficiently.
ResearchonConsumers′GreenProductPreferenceMechanismfromPerspectiveofCompensatoryConsumption
LIUZhichao,CHENYiying
Abstract: Rapid development of society and economy has brought abundant material life to mankind, but at the same time more serious problems of environmental pollution.Green consumption has become a gradually favored way of life and an important research direction of marketing, but there are few literatures that cut into the field of ethics and study its impact on green consumption behavior.Based on the theory of moral compensation, this paper proves, with three experimental results, that consumer preferences for green products can be significantly increased in the context of moral dissonance, in which guilt plays an intermediary role, and moral disengagement a moderating role in the intermediary relationship.For subjects with low moral disengagement, the guilt caused by moral disharmony plays a mediating role in the impact of green product preference; while for subjects with high moral disengagement, the mediating role of guilt would disappear when faced with moral dissonance.This paper further combines the research of moral psychology and green consumption, providing guidance for how to increase the consumption of green products.
ResearchontheFormationMechanismofConsumers′GreenPurchaseIntention:ARoleofAdvertisingGoalFramingandRegulatoryFocus
LIDalin,YUWeiping
Abstract: The advertising goal framing plays an important role in the formation of consumers′ green purchase intention.According to Self-determination Theory, goal framing can be categorized as intrinsic and extrinsic.Through three experiments, it is found that there is a congruency effect between goal framing and regulatory focus.Consumers′ green purchase intention on extrinsic goal(vs.intrinsic goal)is greater for promotion-focused(vs.prevention-focused)individuals.Green involvement moderates the congruency effect between the advertising goal framing and regulatory focus on the green purchase intention.Advertising attitude and green perceived value mediate the congruency effect between advertising goal framing and regulatory focus on green purchase intention.The results of the study provide reference for enterprises to carry out green marketing.

PANChichun,HUANGFeiyu
Abstract: Based on the Social Learning Theory and Attribution Theory, this study explores the influence mechanism of responsible leadership on employee green behavior and verifies the moderated effect of environmental locus of control.The research results show that responsible leadership has a significant positive impact on employee green behavior.Secondly, green psychological climate partially mediates the relationship between responsible leadership and employee green behavior.Lastly,the relationship between green psychological climate and employee green behavior is moderated by environmental locus of control, which also moderates the indirect effect of responsible leadership on employee green behavior through green psychological climate.This study provides some enlightenment for the organization to cultivate and promote employee green behavior, which is helpful for enterprises to improve their environmental performance.
