As environmental conditions continue to deteriorate, ecological and environmental damage compensation and restoration have become priorities on China’s policy agenda. This book offers accessible, comprehensive, and critical insights into Chinese environmental law from theoretical, legal, empirical, and comparative perspectives. It examines the theoretical concept of ecological and environmental damage and outlines the legislative and policy framework governing remediation liability in China. The author explores the role of NGOs in China’s environmental public interest litigation (EPIL) system, the role of the procuratorate in China’s environmental governance, and the state-initiated ecological and environmental damage compensation litigation (EEDCL) regime. By mapping the overlaps and conflicts that arise among various actors and mechanisms, the book highlights the interactions, tensions, and potential synergies within China’s pluralistic regime for addressing ecological and environmental damage. Finally, it synthetically assesses the regime’s achievements, limitations, and future trajectories. This book will appeal to scholars, policymakers, and legal practitioners working in the fields of Chinese environmental law and governance, liability for environmental damage, and environmental litigation.
