论新时代的中国环境权概念

On China’s Concept of the Environmental Right in the New Era

中国特色社会主义进入了新时代,人民日益增长的美好生活需要和不平衡不充分的发展之间的矛盾成为我国社会主要矛盾。这一时代背景和理论基础催生了以新时代环境权概念为核心的环境法治理论创新。与起源于西方法律理论和社会运动的传统环境权概念相比,新时代环境权以满足人民日益增长的优美生态环境需要为目标,具有新的理论内涵。新时代环境权以人民美好生活为价值根基,展现中国发展新一代人权和建设优美生态环境的全新立场,彰显中国所坚持的包括绿色发展在内的新发展理念,是一项内生于我国环境法治实践的新型权利。新时代环境权概念的诞生不仅代表着我国环境法治理论的新发展,还能在国际层面引领环境权概念的演进方向,为环境保护国际合作贡献新的中国智慧。
