ABSTRACT

Ecological and environmental restoration liability, as a novel form of legal responsibility, has gradually become a crucial means of remedying ecological and environmental damage. However, in judicial practice, its application still faces practical obstacles such as the absence of a systematic institutional guarantee for restoration liability, the narrow scope of liable entities, ambiguous restoration objectives, lack of standardized management for restoration funds, and an underdeveloped oversight system for ecological and environmental restoration. Therefore, to achieve the Chinese modernization characterized by the harmonious coexistence of humans and nature, it is necessary to elevate the judicial application of ecological and environmental restoration liability to a new level. This can be achieved by improving the legal basis for its application, expanding the scope of liable entities, clarifying restoration objectives, refining the regulatory framework for restoration funds, and enhancing the supervision mechanisms for ecological restoration.
