“史上最严”的《环境保护法》出台后,以其制度创新、措施严厉等特点,被社会各界寄予厚望,以期遏制污染。然而按照法律实施的逻辑,越严厉的法律实施起来也就越困难。新《环境保护法》实施一年多以来,虽然取得很大成效,但与该法修订时的预期尚有较大差距。作为新《环境保护法》主打亮点之一的公众参与制度在实施过程中也遇到诸多挑战,相关的公众环境知情权、举报权以及诉权的保障制度都有待完善。 After the promulgation of the “Environmental Protection Law”, the most stringent in history, with its system innovation and severe measures, it has been placed high hopes of the community in order to curb pollution. However, according to the logic of law enforcement, the more stringent the law to implement the more difficult. Although the new “Environmental Protection Law” was implemented more than a year ago, great progress has been made but there is still a long way to go before it is revised. As one of the main highlights of the new “Law on Environmental Protection”, the system of public participation also encounters many challenges in the process of implementation. Relevant public environmental rights of information, the right to report and the system of safeguarding the right to appeal all need to be improved.
