环境权是一项新兴的、正处于发展中的重要权利,其产生具有深刻的背景和动因。从法律上创设环境权,一方面适应了现实社会的普遍需求;另一方面解决了环境利益与传统权利体系难以协调的矛盾,具有十分重要的现实意义。在现有的社会历史条件下,对环境权的主体、客体和内容应作合理界定。从法律上创设环境权的基本途径是环境权的宪法化。 Environmental rights is an emerging and important right which is under development. It has a profound background and motivation. On the one hand, it meets the general needs of the real society; on the other hand, it resolves the contradiction between the environmental interests and the traditional rights system, which is of great practical significance. Under the existing social and historical conditions, the subject, object and content of environmental rights should be rationally defined. The basic way to create the right of the environment from the law is the constitutionalization of the right to environment.
