“生态环境”宪法概念解析

Analysis of the Constitutional Concept of "Ecological Environment"

“生态”与“环境”源于不同学科,所指大同小异,且不断发展变化。我国宪法中的“生态环境”是一个富于中国特色的独创概念,在科学界曾引起广泛争议。因其具有多义性,容易引起误解,并非理想的法律概念;但有其时代背景下的合理性和积极意义。宪法角度的正确处理是接受事实、辩证分析,结合现代环境观念和既有法律事实作出最广义的宽泛解释,为下位法中的制度创新提供合法性基础,而不必强求与法律概念的齐整对应。环境宪法解读应跳出文本局限,更加开放、务实。

"Ecology" and "environment" originate from different disciplines,which have similar but different meanings and continue to develop."Ecological environment" in China's Constitution is an original concept with rich Chinese characteristics,yet it has caused widespread controversy in the scientific community.Because it is lexically ambiguous and easy to cause misunderstanding,it is not an ideal legal concept.However,it has its rationality and positive significance under special the background of times.The correct treatment to it,from the constitutional point of view,is to accept the fact,analyze it dialectically,and combine it with the modern environmental concept and the existing legal fact to make the broadest interpretation,so as to provide the legitimacy basis for the system innovation in the lower law without the necessity to have a complete correspondence with the legal concept.The interpretation of environmental constitution should be beyond the limitations of the text and be more open and pragmatic.
