Although there is no formal treaty provision on the right to development in international human rights law，the relevant UN instruments contain important provisions and elaborations on this right. The Chinese government，taking people-oriented scientific outlook of development as its guidance，attaches great important to the right to development，and respects and promotes human rights. Environmental protection is an important content of the two national human rights action plans adopted by the Chinese government，which contain not only relevant measures and tasks，but also concrete measurable indices，and not only responses to issues of social and public concerns，but also emphasis on implementation and supervision. Like the right to development，the right to environment is also an important soft law issue under international law. The principle of “global response” and the principle of “common but differentiated responsibilities” should be adhered to in improving the global governance relating to sustainable development，including environmental protection. China and EU are becoming more connected to each other than ever before and the coordination and cooperation between them in the field of environmental protection has broad prospective and great significance.
