新环保法并没有将地方政府纳入环境公益诉讼的被告范围,这并不利于通过环境公益诉讼敦促地方政府依法履行环保职责。参考国外的成熟经验,我国应在立法中明确将地方政府纳入被告的范围,加强地方政府的环境保护责任。 The new Environmental Protection Law does not include local governments in the scope of environmental public interest litigation, which is not conducive to environmental public interest litigation to urge local governments to fulfill their environmental responsibilities according to law. With reference to the mature experience of foreign countries, our country should clearly include the local government in the scope of the defendant in the legislation and strengthen the responsibility of local governments for environmental protection.
