The Study Of Environmental Voluntary Agreement

Along with the development of global industrialization process, environment has being polluted more seriously. Environmental pollution and ecological destruction brought serious harm to the life of people, and people began to realize the gravity of the environmental problems. Countries began to introduce measures to combat environmental problems. Environmental voluntary agreement is one of the most popular environmental management means which most countries used The generation of environmental voluntary agreement has its certain theoretical basis, Administrative non-compulsion behavior theory and administrative contracts have provided the theoretical foundation. Another, the development of environment management science and Sustainable development theory has provided the theoretical basis for environmental voluntary agreement. In the world, the earliest practice of environment voluntary agreement is in Japan. Its pollution control protocol provides valuable experiences for other countries to the implementation of environmental voluntary agreement. The implementation of environmental voluntary agreement of Netherlands was also the earlier model for other countries followed, known as the Netherlands pattern. Environmental voluntary agreement of American also has a strong influence in the world. Our country also began a environment voluntary agreement of pilot work on the basis of the practical experience of foreign countries in 2004. After several years of experiment, environmental voluntary agreement made great achievements, although in the process of pilot also have problems, these problems can be corrected by system design. Through the pilot phase repeated proof, China decided to extend environmental voluntary agreement and "the law of clean production promotion which was promulgated in June 2006 made specific provision for environmental voluntary agreement which plays a direct role for popularizing environment voluntary agreement in China. In the process of development of environmental voluntary agreement to strengthen environmental voluntary agreement theory research and establish environmental voluntary agreement system have great significance to guide the practice of environmental voluntary agreement. The paper puts forward some suggestions in the process of constructing environmental voluntary agreement system which is Based on our reality and referred of foreign practice experience of and draw lessons of domestic practice of environment voluntary agreement. First, the smooth implementation of environmental voluntary agreement needs good foundation which is the premise of voluntary agreement environment implement. Second, the core content of environmental voluntary agreement is incentive. In China the incentive is also the main problem of environmental voluntary agreement which is revealed in pilot process. So the core problem of the progress environment voluntary agreement is to perfect measures for the motivation. Again, supervision and evaluation of environmental voluntary agreement must do bit, otherwise this system provides occasion for power rent-seeking. Finally, we should establish dispute settlement mechanism of environmental voluntary agreement, for voluntary agreement environmental large-scale implementing when disputes arise cannot solve provided protection.This paper mainly using comparative research methods, compared with the foreign and our country environment voluntary agreement practice, summarizing the experiences and lessons, proposed our country building environment voluntary agreement some suggestions. Perfect environment voluntary agreement theory is inevitable requirement for environment voluntary agreement from the development process of environmental voluntary agreement.There are innovations of this paper:First, learning from theorists on the concept of the environmental voluntary agreements, I generalize the concept of environment voluntary agreements. Second, I made a more comprehensive summary of revelation of the practice of foreign environmental voluntary agreement. Third, I proposed feasible recommendations on environmental voluntary agreements from the beginning of the development to the end of implementation.
