Diritto cinese e diritto ambientale: un itinerario nella giustizia civile

In the last decade the Chinese government began to introduce in the development strategy several legislative and institutional reforms in order to provide a higher level of protection of environment and natural resources. Amongst the new measures there are the creation of new rules on environmental civil liability and a system of environmental courts for a better implementation of these rules. The present study reconstructs the most relevant elements and problems of the new Chinese environmental justice, taking also into accounts the last measures taken, in 2014, by the Supreme People's Court towards the edification of a "ecological civilization".
