权利的延伸与伦理的演进

环境伦理的突出功能表现在对人与自然关系的调整上。本文从法学视角切入 ,以“权利”作为分析文本 ,论述了人类中心主义与非人类中心主义在“自然的权利”上的理论分歧 ,提出了“非人类中心主义”、“自然权利”的环境伦理定位。     

调整农业产业结构 发展农业环保产业

农业是国民经济的基础,农业问题是我国国民经济发展的瓶颈性问题,调整农业产业结构,发展农业产业,特别是发展环保型、生态型农业产业则是促进国民经济健康发展的一项基础性工作,也是实现经济可持续发展的一项探索性工作.本文重点探讨了发展特色环保农业的特征和发展趋势,探讨了发展环保农业的途径和政府的政策措施.

对环境标志制度纳入WTO规则体系的悖论分析

贸易与环境的关系问题是当今国际社会关注的焦点问题.环境标志制度作为贸易与环境的连结点之一,是否应纳入WTO规则体系呢?国际社会对此问题争论激烈,多数国家主张将环境标志制度纳入WTO规则体系.然而,将环境标志制度内化于WTO规则体系弊端突出,外化于WTO规则体系优势明显.环境标志制度可独立于WTO规则体系,并能与之达到和谐--实现贸易与环境的利益平衡.我国应迎合WTO制度的要求不断完善环境标志制度.     

“入世”后我国应对环境贸易壁垒之研究

中国加入WTO之后,一些国家的环境贸易壁垒将进一步威胁我国的外贸出口。为此,我们应该研究运用WTO相关环境政策法规和争端解决机制来应对面临的环境贸易壁垒。还应注意团结广大发展中国家,积极参与包括环境贸易在内的新一轮WTO多边贸易谈判,做游戏规则的制定者和相关谈判的智者。     

浅谈借鉴谏官制度加强人大对环保工作的监督

谏官制度是我国古代一项重要的自下而上监督最高统治者的权力监督体制,古时著名的盛世时期往往伴随着政坛言谏活动蔚然成风。通过探讨唐、宋、明三个朝代的谏官言官制度对政坛权力制约的可行之处,联系当今环保法治中出现的现象,提出自己的思考。     

论环境责任保险对侵权法之影响

侵权法的局限性催生了环境责任保险,而传统侵权理论对环境责任保险正当性的质疑是站不住脚的,它阻碍了环境责任保险的发展.事实上,环境责任保险制度把环境民事责任与合同契约责任有机联系起来,弥补了侵权行为法在环境侵权领域的局限性,适应了时代发展的要求,不仅不违反道德规范,不会导致个人责任没落,反而突破了传统侵权理论的桎梏,强化了侵权法的补偿功能,促进了无过错责任原则的发展,扩大了侵权责任的范围和领域,有助于近代侵权法向现代侵权法过渡,对侵权行为法具有积极影响.     

环境刑法的伦理基础

在环境伦理学中,对于人与自然的关系主要存在人类中心主义、动物解放/权利论、生物平等主义和生态中心主义四种学说。其中,现代人类中心主义是一种最低性的道德标准,可以作为环境刑法的伦理基础。从现代人类中心主义的角度审视环境犯罪,可以发现:环境犯罪是对当代人和未来世代人利益的侵犯,其社会危害性并不仅仅体现为经济价值,环境犯罪正在向一种自然犯罪演化。     

Investments in Global Warming Mitigation: The Case of “Activities Implemented Jointly”

This paper examines bilateral cooperation between developed countries (home country) and developing countries (host country) to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and to enhance carbon dioxide sinks. With the home-host country pair as the unit of analysis, our logistic regression model examines 158 Activities Implemented Jointly (AIJ) investment projects from 1993 until 2002 across 2541 country-pairs. Because the marginal costs of reducing emissions may be lower in developing countries, the AIJ projects served as a policy laboratory to assess whether such investments might be advantageous to both countries in the event future regimes allowed emission credits from such bilateral projects. Instead of investing in home countries where maximum pollution reductions (or carbon sequestration) might be possible, home countries invest in locations where they can conduct their policy experiments at low transaction costs. Prior trade and aid relationships were used as a proxy. Regarding energy projects, location decisions are driven by home countries’ desire to reduce air pollution that they receive from abroad. Geography – proximity of a host country to a home country – in interaction with host country's coal production, is a very important driver of location decision in AIJ energy sector projects. Location of sequestration projects is impacted by the host country's potential for avoiding deforestation as well as by previous aid and trade patterns between a home and a host country. Proximity is not important in this case.
