Pay off the "debt" like this! There are more "new solutions" to compensation for ecological and environmental damage
Whoever destroys the ecological environment should bear the responsibility of ecological restoration. Recently, a "novel" compensation method for ecological and environmental damage in Qixia District, Nanjing City.
A company engaged in the processing of traditional Chinese medicine decoction pieces has not been effectively collected, processed and discharged in accordance with the environmental impact assessment requirements, and the peculiar smell produced has been complained by surrounding people. It should bear the liability for compensation for ecological and environmental damage in accordance with the law. After consultation, the local ecological and environmental department decided to let the traditional Chinese medicine company fulfill its liability for compensation by conducting free diagnosis of traditional Chinese medicine pulse sensing and environmental protection publicity.
This approach can be said to achieve three goals with one stone. It not only gives full play to the company's strengths and advantages, better fulfills corporate social responsibilities, but also strengthens mutual understanding between the company and surrounding residents, promotes environmental protection concepts, and also reduces the financial burden on the company and increases support for traditional Chinese medicine related industries.
In fact, traditional compensation for ecological and environmental damage generally involves on-site ecological restoration and direct payment of compensation. However, the amount of compensation for ecological and environmental damage is sometimes relatively large and may exceed the company's ability to bear. At the same time, there will also be cases of compensation for ecological environment damage where the ecological environment cannot be repaired or repaired on site. Therefore, it is particularly important to explore and design diversified compensation methods and find a "new solution" for the responsible party to assume the responsibility of ecological and environmental protection.
In this regard, some places have begun to explore new alternative restoration paths, and have made fruitful explorations in using the ecological and environmental damage compensation system to promote ecological and environmental governance.
The reporter noticed that in addition to the above-mentioned public welfare activities by giving full play to the advantages of enterprises, some places have explored labor compensation methods when they have no financial ability to undertake ecological restoration and have a small amount of compensation, and fulfill them by paying labor equivalent to the compensation. Obligations. For example, Lao Huang, a villager in Shanfeng Village, 2badu Town, Jiangshan City, Quzhou City, Zhejiang Province, illegally hunted terrestrial wild animals. However, due to his family's poor economic conditions, it was difficult to bear the compensation for ecological and environmental damage. The local government negotiated and allowed him to serve as a temporary mountain patrol to offset the ecological damage compensation, thereby achieving the purpose of alternative ecological restoration.
There are also some places that have begun to explore "carbon sink compensation" methods, prompting compensation obligors to use the method of subscribing for "carbon sinks" to indirectly repair the ecological value loss caused by their illegal activities. Last year, a chemical company in Wuhan, Hubei Province released pollutants into the atmosphere due to illegal regulations. The company subscribed for 203 tons of forestry carbon sinks to certify voluntary emission reductions, which was used to support national emission reduction, low-carbon travel and other activities in Wuhan City to offset the carbon dioxide emissions it produces. This approach not only carries out alternative restoration of the ecological environment, but also helps achieve the "double carbon" goal.
In addition, not long ago, Yunnan Province also explored the introduction of insurance, funds, bonds and other financial systems and means, and explored the establishment of diversified responsibility-bearing methods and supporting guarantee mechanisms.
These multiple measures and various forms of compensation and restoration methods have provided new ideas for efficiently and conveniently completing compensation for ecological and environmental damage, and have also found suitable "exports" for diverse compensation entities to effectively fulfill their compensation obligations.
Compensation methods can be varied, but ecological restoration cannot be relaxed. It must be made clear that no matter what method is used to carry out ecological compensation, it is not the end. Completing ecological restoration is the foundation. In the process, the simple concept of "one compensation" must be avoided. Only when the compensation is in place and the restoration is effective can we promote the concept of "the environment is valuable and the damage is responsible".
