公众是推动世界各国环境保护事业发展的重要力量。虽然我国环境保护公众参与程度日益提高,但受自身素质、外部环境等因素影响,与发达国家相比仍有较大提升空间。政府应当为公众参与创造一个有利环境,包括公开信息、奖励举报、购买服务等,公众则应享有知情权、监督权,以及公平的环境权,有责任也有义务身体力行、自觉保护环境。 The public is an important force in promoting the development of environmental protection in all countries in the world. Although the degree of public participation in environmental protection in our country is increasing day by day, it is still more room for improvement than the developed countries due to its own quality and external environment. The government should create a favorable environment for public participation, including public information, reward reporting, purchase of services, etc. The public should have the right to information, supervision and fair environmental rights. It is their responsibility and duty to protect the environment consciously.
