多中心视角下的日本环境治理模式探析

Researching Japan's Environmental Governance from the Perspectives of Multiple Subjects

日本在短时间内由一个备受公害困扰的国家转变成为一个环保型经济发达国家,其环境治理模式经过多年发展形成了显著的多中心治理特征:中央政府在环境治理中从规则制定者逐渐转变为鼓励相关利益方自愿参与环保活动的协调者,地方政府、企业、NPO和公民能够在环境治理中做到各司其职。日本环境治理模式的经验和特征对很多发展中国家具有重要的借鉴意义。

Japan transformed from an environmentally polluted country into a green economy in a short period. Japan＇s environmental governance pattern has remarkable and multiple features after decades of development. The central government has changed from a rule maker to a coordinator encouraging stakeholders to participate in environmental protection voluntarily. Local governments, enterprises, NPO and society can do their own part in environmental governance. Japan＇s experience in environmental governance can be relevant for other coun- tries.
