Game theory and environmental disputes

The courts have provided the traditional battleground for conflicts between environmental interest groups and those whose actions in some way have an adverse impact on the environment The judicial process is a time-consuming one in which all sides usually must concede to some points. Environmental disputes involve complex scientific issues which the court system is not set up to comprehend, so that the process gives the parties to a dispute the sense of having lost control of their own destinies. An increasing number of parties to environmental disputes are turning to negotiation, or mediation, as an alternative in which they can be active parties in the settlement-making process rather than the victims of a court-imposed solution When do the parties to a dispute choose a negotiated settlement over a court battle? To what extent does each party make the concessions necessary to reach an agreement? These questions can be answered by the game theory that provides a model for analyzing the negotiation process. This paper will apply game theory to two environmental conflict cases A series of questions pertinent to the analysis of all environmental disputes will be raised

论环境行政命令

环境行政命令是环境行政机关极为重要的环境行政行为。从法的角度考察，环境行政命令是环境行政机关依法所作的具有强制拘求力的单方意思表示，体现环境管理中的国家权力作用。环境行政命令以环境法律为依据，不得与环境法律相抵触，适用环境法律的原理和原则而与环境法律密切联系，在制订机关、程序和名称、效力、地位上与环境法律又明显有别。环境行政命令可因命令的废止、撤销、期间届满及目的完成而消灭，施行期间须接受国家权力

Legal and regulatory challenges in the implementation of CO2 geological storage: An Alberta and Canadian perspective

Alberta is the province with the largest CO₂ emissions in Canada, with approximately two-thirds of emissions originating from large stationary sources. Due to the fortuitous association of large CO₂ sources with the storage capacity offered by the underlying Alberta basin, it is expected that large-scale CO₂ geological storage in Canada will occur in Alberta first, and both levels of governments are contemplating measures to facilitate implementation. A review of the current provincial and federal legislation and regulations presented in this paper indicates that the existing legal and regulatory regime is reasonably sufficient, with some modifications, to accommodate the active injection phase of CO₂ capture and storage (CCS) operations, and the early takers of this new technology. However, governments in Alberta and Canada, and likely everywhere, need to address several pressing issues dealing mainly with the CCS post-operational phase. These issues, reviewed in this paper from an Alberta and Canadian perspective, fall into several categories: jurisdictional, property (ownership), regulatory and liability. Because Alberta is a landlocked province, matters relating to CO₂ storage under the seabed will not be addressed here except when discussing matters of jurisdiction and CO₂ classification. Possible models for post-injection liability transfer to the state are also presented. Although this review is focused on western Canada conditions, the issues are broad enough to be of interest in other jurisdictions, which may also adopt parts of the legal and regulatory framework that is quite well developed in Alberta.

煤矿井下作业场所粉尘浓度的法律管理

煤矿井下作业场所粉尘浓度管理标准的变动，会给煤矿的防尘工作带来很大影响。煤矿防尘工作的好坏主要取决于综合防尘措施的落实、防尘科技的发展状况以及与此相适应的法规标准。脱离实际的防尘标准，只能导致实际工作中的虚夸与浮躁，不利于防尘工作的正常开展
