The new environmental law implemented from 2015 defined the basic principles for the first time. These principles are the embodiment of formalized rule of law and this amendment releases the signal that environmental law should build and develop the interpretation system centers at the basic principles. The environmental justice issues originated from America also consists in China because of requirements for economic development and environmental protection. The new law established “conservation priority” principle, “prevention and comprehensive management” principle, “public participation” principle, “saboteur responsibility” correspond to the environmental justice theory profoundly. Analyzing the principles of new environmental law from environmental justice perspective is a way to enrich the interpretation of principles and provide a path for the legalization of environmental law and unification of formal and substantial rule of law.
