首映礼现场。 将"无声战役"搬上银幕，兼具现实力度与情感温度 平铺直叙的理念宣讲，或是刻意煽情的价值输出，虽具有警示作用，但无形中在观众与议题间形成了一道距离，停留在主旋律环保题材的刻板印象里。 而《顺流而上》，彻底拆解了这种观看结构，成为一部兼具现实力度与情感温度的作品。 "这次，没有谁是旁观者！"近期，我国首部生态环境执法题材院线电影《顺流而上》正在全国院线热映。该片以写实的影像风格与类型化叙事，真实再 现了一线生态环境执法人员与违法排污企业之间的博弈，展现了新时代生态环境工作者的责任与担当，也深刻叩问了经济发展与生态环境保护之间的时代命 题。 "希望能把生态环境执法人内心的执着、坚韧、强大的内核表达出来，并在此基础上能和观众产生共鸣。"电影总制片人谢敏表示。 影片讲述了新任环保局执法支队副支队长陆青云因好友离奇死亡，卷入一桩错综复杂的水污染谜案。他与搭档赵山河在危机四伏的调查中，顶着各方压 力孤勇前行，只为探寻污染源头。影片改编自十几年前推动我国环境违法入刑进程的真实案件，该事件曾引发社会广泛关注，并成为我国生态环境法治建设 的重要转折点。 影片由中华环境保护基金会、浙江省杭州市生态环境局、中共建德市委 ...

为何土坯房这种传统的生态环保建筑会逐渐消失？一方面，部分村民将土坯房视为"土气""落后"的象 征，而将水泥楼房等同于"生活升级"。另一方面，传统技艺面临传承断层，掌握夯土、砌石等技艺的老 工匠日益减少。此外，政策引导与支持力度不足，目前缺乏针对乡村传统生态建筑的系统补贴政策和技 术指导。 在大别山南麓的丘陵地带，乡村民居曾多为土坯建筑。这些房屋就地取材，以山石奠基、泥土为墙、草 木为筋，兼具冬暖夏凉的特性，体现出与自然相融的生态智慧。拆旧建新时，地基山石、屋顶木材与瓦 片可循环利用，夯土墙体或土砖亦可重归自然。土坯房的建造方式与理念，生动诠释了"天人合一"的自 然生态观。 然而，在城镇化快速推进的背景下，这类蕴含生态智慧的民居正逐渐消失。在很多村庄，历经数十年甚 至上百年的土坯房被拆除，取而代之的是钢筋水泥结构的楼房。 笔者认为，建设美丽乡村应坚持保护与创新并重、传承与发展协同，积极传承乡村传统民居中蕴含的自 然生态观，使传统智慧在新时代焕发活力。 首先，应守护好传统乡村民居。建议开展乡村传统生态建筑系统普查，将有代表性的土坯房等纳入保护 名录，防止"一刀切"式拆除。可借鉴"修旧如旧"理念，对老建筑进行结构加 ...

"生态环境部门移送涉刑案件，法制审核和集体讨论程序是否必要？"这一话题近日在中国环境报引起了热烈讨论。 正方观点认为，设置法制审核和集体讨论程序能够保障移送案件的质量，确保行刑衔接顺畅。反方观点则认为，行政机关的职责在于发现并移交线索，过度 强调程序可能贻误侦查时机。 这个问题为何引发一线执法人员讨论？争论焦点是否有确定答案？本报记者近日邀请多位专家学者、律师谈谈他们的看法。 （点击图片可进入专题获知讨论详情） 争论点一：到底有没有明确规定？ 法制审核与集体讨论，是行政处罚法规定的行政机关在行政处罚过程中应当执行的两个程序。法制审核是行政机关在作出重大行政执法决定前，由法制机构 对案件合法性、合理性进行审核的程序；集体讨论是行政机关对某些重大、复杂的行政执法案件，在负责人作出最终决定之前，召集有关人员进行集体研 究、审议，并在此基础上作出决定的内部决策程序。 "负责人审批不等同于法制审核，有些执法人员混淆了二者的概念。实际上，负责人审批、法制审核和集体讨论，是三个不同的程序，有各自不同的适用条 件。"甘肃政法大学民商经济法学院教授冯嘉指出。 也就是说，依据现有法律法规，移送涉刑案件所涉及的审核，属于负责人审批 ...

既然如此，为什么还有两种观点、各种理由？其实，大家都是从各自实际办案的角度论证"需要"和"不 需要"。但我认为，这不是一个非此即彼、非黑即白的关系，而是在什么条件下"需要"、什么条件下"不 需要"，如何更有效地发挥法制审核和集体讨论的价值，最终达到更好履行移送职责、降低履职风险的 问题。 我认为，正反方观点都有一些偏颇之处。一方面，法制审核在涉刑案件移送中的作用和目的，不能认为 是"添乱"和"阻碍"，而是保障和推进。虽然行政移送阶段与刑事定罪阶段的证明标准的确不同，但不应 成为放弃法审的正当理由。另一方面，"移送"是一个过程性行为，不具有终局意义，因此不应对法制审 核附加过大的程序价值。 华商（苏州）律师事务所李加祥： 这个问题在实务中争论已久，原因就在于，如果从"规范"的角度，至少在国家层面上，无论是法律、行 政法规、部门规章还是规范性文件，的确没有强制性规定要求生态环境部门在移送涉刑案件前，应当经 过法制审核和集体讨论程序。 在没有明确规定的情况下，各地生态环境部门可以根据本地的实际情况，制定相应工作规程进行明确， 更好发挥法制审核和集体讨论的正向作用，依法履行移送职责，切实降低履职风险。 ...
