As the environmental problems become more and more serious, environmental damage disputes are on the rise and the environmental civil liability, as an important part of the environmental protection legal system, faces many configuration dilemmas. Therefore, the configuration and improvement of environmental civil liability have become an important issue in the legal system of environmental protection. The purpose of this study is to reveal the problems in the configuration of environmental civil liability by analyzing the typical cases and discussing the dilemmas in the configuration of environmental civil liability. It has been found that the dilemmas in the configuration of environmental civil liability mainly include the limitations of the identification of the responsible subject, the complexity of the identification of the damage results, and the difficulty of the burden of proof. In view of the existing difficulties, from the perspective of the government, enterprises and the courts, it is possible to strengthen the definition of responsibility and accountability mechanisms of regulatory authorities, improve the internal accountability system of enterprises, and establish a mechanism for reviewing the burden of proof of the defendant, and so on.References
