Civil Liability For Rnvironmental Damage And Compensation

Abstract

The environment is the surroundings in which humans and other creatures live and from which they derive the essentials of life and survival. It comprises the natural and human elements that make up the environment. However, the increase in the world's population and its concentration in limited areas of the earth's surface, scientific and technological progress, the expansion in the use of various energy sources, and the expansion of industrial activity, which has had numerous effects on the environment, have led to the emergence of a number of environmental problems, such as environmental pollution resulting from human activity. This has necessitated the preservation and protection of the environment through legislation and laws that impose various types of legal responsibility for protecting the environment. Among these types is civil liability, which plays an important role in protecting the environment through compensation for environmental damage.
