生态损害赔偿不同于传统的侵权损害赔偿,生态损害是侵害人的行为造成了生态环境自身的损害,并不损害特定人的人身或财产。生态的所有者是全体人类,当生态受损时,“人类”无法亲自行使自己的权利,向侵害人提出索赔请求。在公共信托原则的支撑下,政府作为索赔主体向侵害人提出索赔请求,有现实意义,也有理论上的合理性。本文从公共信托原则视角分析我国现行法律规定政府部门作为生态损害赔偿索赔主体意义。 Ecological damage compensation is different from the traditional compensation for tort damages. Ecological damage is an act of infringement that causes damage to the ecological environment itself and does not damage the personal or property of a particular person. The ecological owner is all human beings. When the ecology is damaged, “human ” can not exercise his rights by himself and make a claim to the violator. With the support of the principle of public trust, the government as the subject of claim makes a claim to the aggressor, which is both practical and theoretically reasonable. From the perspective of public trust principle, this article analyzes the current legal provisions of our government as the main body of the compensation claim for ecological damage.
