摘要

The impact of the industrial revolution and the machinery it introduced had significant effects on human life, giving humans the ability to manipulate the environment and exploit its resources excessively. This led to various environmental harms that had material, physical, and ethical implications for humans, while also damaging the air, water, and land, putting humanity at a disadvantage. The challenges we face require solutions through environmental laws focused on creating a clean and pollution-free environment, along with establishing civil liability for those responsible for pollution. Providing fair compensation for the affected parties is essential for achieving justice, which can be achieved through insurance against environmental damage. The widespread and long-lasting effects of environmental pollution have surpassed the capabilities of traditional civil liability laws, often crossing national borders and challenging state sovereignty. As a result, there is a need for alternative legal systems to address environmental issues. Many international laws and agreements have embraced the concept of environmental damage insurance as a substitute for civil liability laws, leading to differing opinions among legal experts. This is due to the technical aspects of the insurance system.
