近年来明显出现突发环境污染事件高发态势,既造成了持续的环境污染,又造成了地方和群众的经济损失,甚至诱发群体性上访事件。为保护环境受害者和社会弱势群体的利益、降低企业环境管理的风险、推动环保部门职能转变,需要建立一种长效保障机制——环境污染责任保险制度。 In recent years, there has been a clear trend of high incidence of unexpected environmental pollution incidents, which has not only caused continuous environmental pollution but also caused economic losses to local people and the masses and even induced mass petitions. To protect the interests of environmental victims and social vulnerable groups, reduce the risk of enterprise environmental management and promote the transformation of the functions of environmental protection departments, we need to establish a long-term safeguard mechanism - the environmental pollution liability insurance system.
