A Comparative Study Of Environmental Impact Assessment Systems In China And The United States

Since modern times,frequent human activities have had a major impact on the surrounding environment,and the public has become more and more critical about environmental issues.As an important part of environmental protection work,the environmental impact assessment system first established in the United States in the late 1960s was promoted throughout the world.Environmental impact assessment usually refers to the pre-assessment of human activities that have an impact on the environment,or the possible environmental consequences of the proposed human activities.The environmental impact assessment system is the statutory,institutionalized and proceduralization of environmental impact assessment work.China introduced this system in the late 1970s.The system has experienced nearly 30 years of development in China,and has established an environmental impact assessment system in the form of a single-line law.Under the background of comprehensively deepening reforms,as a key period for the battle against pollution,China has successively issued the"13th Five-Year Plan for Environmental Impact Assessment Reform Implementation Plan"and "2019 Environmental Impact Assessment and Emission Management Work Points" and other documents.It reflects the confidence and determination of China to win the "blue sky defense war".Because of its early start and its long-standing attention from the US government and people,the US environmental impact assessment system is one of the countries with relatively perfect environmental impact assessment system,and leads the future development direction in many aspects.Compared with the US environmental impact assessment system,the positive factors of the US environmental impact assessment system are used by me.Combining China's specific national conditions and development status,improving the EIA system is an important way to protect China's environment.The main body of the article is divided into four parts.The first part is mainly about the basic provisions of China's environmental assessment system.It mainly analyzes the contents of evaluation,environmental assessment procedures,related subjects,judicial review,etc.,and then analyzes the existing existence of China's environmental assessment system design.Disadvantages.The second part also discusses the US EIA system from the evaluation content,EIA process,relevant subjects,and judicial review,and then analyzes the future development trend of the US EIA system.The third part of the article is mainly to further analyze the evaluation content,the EIA process,related subjects,and judicial review in order to seek the advantages and disadvantages of the EIA system in the two countries,and better introduce the positive factors in the US EIA system to make up for China.Defects and shortcomings in the EIA system.Finally,based on the positive factors of the US environmental assessment system,for my use,Combine the wave of simple administration and decentralization reform of"distribution service",clarify the boundaries of rights of various departments,establish a more scientific environmental impact assessment mechanism,and introduce alternative programs and judicial review into the environmental impact assessment system to deepen the environmental impact assessment reform.Improve environmental quality and better carry out ecological civilization construction.then analyzes the future development trend of the US EIA system.The third part of the article is mainly to further analyze the evaluation content,the EIA process,related subjects,and judicial review in order to seek the advantages and disadvantages of the EIA system in the two countries,and better introduce the positive factors in the US EIA system to make up for China.Defects and shortcomings in the EIA system.Finally,based on the positive factors of the US environmental assessment system,for my use,Combine the wave of simple administration and decentralization reform of "distribution service",clarify the boundaries of rights of various departments,establish a more scientific environmental impact assessment mechanism,and introduce alternative programs and judicial review into the environmental impact assessment system to deepen the environmental impact assessment reform.Improve environmental quality and better carry out ecological civilization construction.
