Construction of a Law System for Green Production in China under the Perspective of System Dynamics Knowledge Pedigree

Abstract

Industrial production is an essential factor for economic development, while law system is a necessary tool for regulation. How to better guide enterprises toward green production with a law system requires close attention. The purpose of the article is to take system dynamics knowledge pedigree as the analysis frame, guide enterprises to step into green production by legal systems and build the green production legal system with Chinese characteristics. China has issued and implemented such laws and regulations on green production as Law of the People's Republic of China on Promotion of Cleaner Production and Circular Economy Promotion Law which, however, still have the deficiencies in operability and enforceability and cannot resolve problems of environmental pollution from industrial production fundamentally. It is necessary to improve the green production system with the system dynamics knowledge system. Methodology. System dynamics unifies the structural, functional and historical methods. Analytic approaches and Holistic approaches are mainly applied in this article. The analytic approaches focus on individual element in the system and the relationship between elements. It is applied in the analysis on the "lack" of order flow, people flow and money flow system and the "shortage" of equipment flow and material flow system, and stresses on macroscopic problems of individual elements. The holistic approaches emphasize on the whole system and the system structure. This article reviews the operation process for green production legal system from the whole system dynamics knowledge pedigree, innovates the adjustment method, breaks the old discipline system concept, fuses the system dynamics knowledge system into the construction of green production legal system, and focuses on macroscopic problems in system structure. Originality. This article applies system dynamics knowledge pedigree in the study of green production legal system to construct the system in consideration of the whole enterprise production process, and proposes detailed theories like establishing environmental profit and loss account and strategic EIA system as well as green financial system and raw material green production mechanism in enterprises. Findings. System dynamics absorbs the essence of cybernetics and information theory, and is a transverse discipline integrating the natural science and social science to understand and resolve system problems. After studying the system dynamics knowledge system, we find that it is closely related to both production and ecological environmental protection. Its life cycle curve and ecological model theory can be applied in the construction of green production legal system. Practical value. Theoretical study roots in realistic questions. Construction of green production legal system responds to the need for ecology civilization construction system put forth by Chinese government and provides a practical solution for promoting green development.
