环境民事公益诉讼中惩罚性赔偿制度适用的实践困境研究

Study on the practical dilemmas of the application of punitive compensation system in environmental civil public interest litigation

自《中华人民共和国民法典》对污染环境行为的惩罚性赔偿做出明文规定以来,江西省浮梁县人民法院首次将惩罚性赔偿制度运用到环境民事公益诉讼之中。这一举措既反映出我国对环保事业的坚持,又引起了学术界关于惩罚性损害赔偿是否适用于环境民事公益诉讼的热议。本文旨在探讨环境民事公益诉讼中惩罚性赔偿制度在实践中的使用困境。

Since the Civil Code explicitly stipulates punitive compensation for acts of environmental pollution,the People's Court of Fuliang County,Jiangxi Province,has applied the punitive compensation system to environmental civil public interest litigation for the first time.This action not only reflects China's commitment to environmental protection but also sparked academic discussions on whether punitive damages are applicable to environmental civil public interest litigation.This paper aims to explore the practical dilemmas in using the punitive damages system in environmental civil public interest litigation.
