可持续城市化发展对环境法庭建设的需求分析

中国的"快速城市化"诱发了一系列生态环境问题,与之相伴的环境资源纠纷数量亦呈现较快的增长趋势,其中因重大环境污染等引发的群体性事件已越来越成为影响社会稳定的突出问题。由于环境案件具有很强的技术性,因此催生了各地环境法庭的产生。可持续城市化全球战略的发布为当下中国环境法庭的建设和发展提出了新需求,围绕建设"公正、安全、健康、方便、可担当、有抵御能力和可持续"的城市目标,分别从消除贫困、包容社会和有抵御灾害能力三方面对环境法庭建设提出新诉求。在可持续城市化时域下,确立环境权、扩大管辖权和成立环境资源审判专家咨询委员会是环境法庭建设的助力方向。

Sustainable urbanization demand for the construction of environmental courts

China''s rapid urbanization has induced a series of ecological and environmental problems, which has resulted in increasing environmental resource disputes or conflicts. Among them, mass incidents caused by major environmental pollution have become more pressing issues affecting social stability. Since environmental cases are highly technical, environmental courts are emerging. At present, there are some limitations for the establishment and operation of environmental courts in China. In this circumstance, the newly enacted global strategy for sustainable urbanization put forward new demands for the construction and development of the environmental courts. With the goals of "fairness, security, health, convenience, affordability, resilience and sustainability", new demands for environmental court construction have been created in terms of poverty alleviation, inclusive society and disaster-resistant capacity. To push forward sustainable urbanization, the empowerment of environmental rights, expansion of jurisdiction, and establishment of environmental resources trial advisory committee are imperative for the construction of environmental courts in China.
