【动态】久拖不立渐成常态，社会组织环境公益诉讼的立案问题亟待解决

作者：王晓琼

中文摘要：新“《环保法”》中规定社会组织可提起环境公益诉讼，但相比起已与法院有既定有效联系衔接机制的检察机关来说，社会组织提起环境公益诉讼面临着立案方面的诸多问题。原因有三点：一是司法机关处理环境公益诉讼的动力不够；二是司法环境上下不平衡；三是对社会组织的信任机制欠缺。五项改进建议分别是：一是严格落实《最高人民法院关于审理环境公益诉讼案件的工作规范（试行）》，普遍实行推行立案登记制；二是开展专项整治，将公益诉讼立案列入绩效考核；三是加强院级主要负责人的交流培训；四是鼓励开展对话沟通，建立社会组织的信任机制；五是贯彻《民法典》绿色原则，鼓励公益诉讼进一步开拓创新。

Fifth, followfollowing the guide of Civil Code of the People’s Republic of China to encourage the green development of EPIRIL.

Key words: environmental public interest litigations (EPIL), NGOs, case docketing, NGO build trust-building
