Abstract

With the rapid progress of science and technology, environmental problems are becoming increasingly prominent of human. Environmental issues have become a common challenge facing the international community. It is also one of key topics of current research. The author establishes a game model to analyse the public’ s behaviour decision-making when they face the environmental pollution caused by enterprises. Then, it is found that litigation cost is an important reason affecting public behaviour. Under the condition of low litigation costs, the dominant strategy for the public is to file a lawsuit against the illegal pollutant discharge enterprises. And then, according to the number of environmental litigation cases in recent five years, the data analysis shows that the Chinese government and the public have paid increasing attention to environmental issues in the past five years. The settlement rate environmental protection has remained at a relatively stable state. In conclusion, this paper suggests that the government should reduce the cost of public litigation, improve the trial efficiency of relevant cases and increase the publicity of environmental protection. Allowing the public to participate in the environmental protection system is conducive to the government’s better governance of the illegal discharge of pollutants by enterprises.
