Research On Chinese Environmental Justice Specialization

Over the past 30 years,our country has attained remarkable achievements in the construction of economic society,but at the same time sacrificed environmental and resource protection to promote economic growth.Increasingly serious environmental problems cause serious waste of resources,pollution of environment and destruction of ecological balance,which greatly harms people’s health and poses a major threat to the sustainable development of the national economic society.As a response,practice of our country’s environmental judicial specialization has been launched in many provinces gradually.Environmental judicial specialization is not a long-standing concept,but formed by the effective combination of environmental judicial practice and judicial specialization,which arises from the needs to solve environmental disputes and manage environmental issues upon economic growth.On the course of its development so far,our country’s environmental judicial specialization is not preceded by the theory or legislation,but formed by some local courts’ early spontaneous and active practice of exploration as a result of the pressure of local environmental pollution and ecological damage.The practical exploration and theoretical research of our country’s environmental judicial specialization not only favors the development of environmental justice,but also stimulates the further improvement of environmental legislation,environmental law enforcement and environmental compliance.It helps to improve the realistic dilemma of the implementation of the environmental protection system and rebuild the natural environment and ecological balance which has been severely polluted and damaged.It also helps respect and maintain the ecological development of the law,restore the ecological balance and protect the natural environment.Based on systematically analyzing the summary of basic theory of our country’s environmental judicial specialization,summing up and sorting out the current specific practice of environmental judicial specialization in major areas,and comparing the time operation and the specific system design of foreign environmental judicial specialization,this paper discusses the development direction of our country’s environmental judicial specialization,and then puts forward the mechanism and suggestions to strengthen the practice of our country’s environmental judicial specialization.This paper is divided into four parts.First of all,it will briefly introduce the connotation and extension of the environmental judicial specialization in our country by considering the theoretical research and practical development of our country’s environmental justice.Secondly,it will carry out a practical investigation and empirical study on the environmental judicial specialization in major areas of China,especially the practical exploration of environmental judicial specialization in Guizhou,Jiangsu and Yunnan.Thirdly,it will summarize the realistic dilemma and problems that Chinese environmental judicial specialization practice facing out.Then,it will introduce the research on foreign environmental judicial specialization,focusing on the practical experience of environmental judicial specialization in the United States,Australia and New Zealand,and the enlightenment to perfecting the environmental judicial specialization in our country.Finally,it will introduce the research on the protection of mechanism and suggestions of our country’s environmental judicial specialization in the current background,focusing on the path selection of improving our country’s environmental judicial specialization which is mainly about ideas of setting up the institutions of environmental judicial specialization.It will also focus on the launch of a professional system for litigation and security which facilitates the effective operation of the country’s environmental judicial specialization.
