Abstract: The rule of law of ecological civilization education is an important carrier of ecological civilization education into the national education system. From the national, environmental and livelihood views of Xi Jinping's thoughts on ecological civilization and the dual dimensions of the legal obligation realization model, two basic modes of ecological civilization education can be deduced: the national obligation and the public participation. Among them, the national obligation mode includes the national legislative confirmation of ecological civilization education, the implementation of ecological civilization education regulations, and judicial guarantee, etc; the public participation mode takes public services as the main attribute, with extensive public participation as the main carrier, and complements public participation in environmental protection. However, these two modes have their own boundaries, advantages and disadvantages of activity. On the basis of the national obligation mode, an integration of the public participation mode has become a better realization mode of the rule of law of ecological civilization education. This model draws on the two basic and complementary modes, taking the harmonious coexistence between man and nature as the overall coordination view, the environmental publicprivate cooperation as the overall approach, and the construction of procedural coordination mechanism as the carrier to promote the highlevel coordination between the state and the public. Therefore, a new path can be provided for accelerating the improvement of the implementation of the concept that clear water and green mountains are gold and silver mountains by clarifying the various realization modes of the rule of law of ecological civilization education and constructing the theoretical map of the rule of law of ecological civilization.
