The Legal Regulation of Compulsory Liability Insurance for Environmental Pollution in China

Compulsory liability insurance for environmental pollution is one of the green insurances currently being promoted in China, which has practical significance for achieving green and low-carbon development. However, there are many problems in the compulsory insurance for environmental pollution. The lack of a specialized legal basis leads to an awkward situation where there is no legitimate authorization from higher-level laws. The insurance model has not been clearly defined, and there is a lack of an official stance and attitude of praise. The lack of clear related legal relationships makes it difficult to form a hierarchical and effective legal system for compulsory liability insurance for environmental pollution. Therefore, from the perspective of the combination of insurance law and environmental law, we should draw on the development experience abroad, explore effective paths to improve the compulsory liability insurance for environmental pollution, promote the effective connection between the insurance industry and environmental protection, and achieve a win-win situation for both.
