摘要:

20世纪50至60年代,日本因实施以经济发展为优先的政策,企业废水与废气排放缺乏有效监管,引发了包括水俣病在内的“四大公害病”,造成严重的社会与公共健康问题。为更有效地应对公害问题并为受害者提供补偿,日本政府自20世纪70年代起逐步建立了具有行政救济性质的环境损害赔偿制度。经过长期实践与制度优化,该体系已形成一套分工明确、协同高效的成熟制度框架。本文系统梳理了日本环境损害赔偿制度的发展历程,深入分析其法律基础与配套政策,旨在为我国环境损害赔偿制度的构建与完善提供有益借鉴。同时,本文以水俣病案例为切入点,解析其在赔偿实践中的具体机制与成效,进一步揭示该制度在实际运行中的特点与启示,为我国环境治理法治体系建设提供参考依据。

Abstract:

In the 1950s and 1960s, Japan’s implementation of policies prioritizing economic development caused a lack of effective supervision over the discharge of industrial wastewater and exhaust gases, which led to the occurrence of the “Four Major Pollution Diseases”, including Minamata disease, causing serious social and public health problems. To more effectively address public nuisances and provide compensation to victims, the Japanese government gradually established an environmental damage compensation system with administrative relief characteristics since the 1970s. Through long-term practice and system optimization, this system has evolved into a mature institutional framework with a clear division of labor and efficient collaboration. This paper systematically reviews the development process of Japan’s environmental damage compensation system and deeply analyzes its legal framework and supporting policies, aiming to provide useful references for the construction and improvement of China’s environmental damage compensation system. Meanwhile, through the case analysis of Minamata disease, the paper explores the specific mechanisms and effects in the compensation practices, further revealing the system’s operational characteristics and implications, and providing a reference basis for the construction of China’s environmental governance legal system.
