Abstract: For close to a decade China has been implementing 'eco-compensation' mechanisms to address water-related ecosystem issues. This paper examines China's approach to eco-compensation through experience in the Lake Tai watershed. Four typologies of eco-compensation schemes are identified and analysed, primarily through a legal lens. It is concluded that while progress has been made, there is need for improved legal approaches to this complex topic.
