我国的经济处于快速发展的阶段，环境也遭受到前所未有的破坏。脆弱的环境已经严重破坏了人们的自然生存空间，并损害人们的财产与身体健康。如何通过刑事立法对破坏环境的犯罪行为予以预防和惩罚就成为当代中国刑事立法面临的新问题。由于环境犯罪的特殊性，适用传统的过错责任原则在解决环境犯罪问题上显得“捉襟见肘”，无法全面保障社会和公众的利益。虽然《中华人民共和国刑法修正案（八）》对环境犯罪进行了修改，即不以“造成财产损失或者人身伤亡等”作为环境犯罪的构成与否的要素，现规定为一旦造成“严重污染环境”即构成犯罪，但是我国环境犯罪立法对环境犯罪的归责原则上并没有做出实质性的突破。这不能够满足我国社会对自然环境和资源保护的需要，不利于我国可持续发展战略的实施，无法有效开展生态文明的建设。对此，我国有不少学者建议在坚持以过错责任原则作为一般犯罪归责原则的基础上，考虑到环境犯罪的特殊性，将严格责任纳入环境犯罪中。但是，也部分学者持反对意见，他们认为严格责任就是绝对的，不考虑行为人主观心态是违背主客观相一致原则，会对我国的犯罪构成的四要件产生极大的威胁，并且有被滥用的危险，最终不利于保障人权。本文将合理界定严格责任的内涵，指出学者们对严格责任是否纳入我国环境犯罪争议焦点的矛盾之处指出其症结所在，指出本文采取相对严格责任的定义，通过对英美主要国家对严格责任在环境犯罪中的适用情况的立法、司法分析，并说明环境犯罪中引入严格责任的如何具体适用，通过对我国环境犯罪中引入严格责任的适时性、必要性进行客观的分析，从而提出我国刑法将严格责任引入在环境犯罪适用的具体范围和条件。

With the rapid development of Chinese economy, the environment had been hitherto unknown damage. The fragile environment has been seriously destroyed people's natural living space, and damage to property and the physical health of people. How to prevent and punish the behavior of the environment destruction becomes a new problem faced by contemporary China criminal legislation. Because of the particularity of environmental crime, the principle of fault liability for traditional appear "hard" in solving the problems of the environment crime, can’t fully guarantee the social and public interests. 　　　Although the Amendment to the criminal law of the people’s Republic of China (eight) to the environment crime was modified, namely "not to cause personal injury or loss of property," as the constitutive elements of the crime, but the regulations "as long as the serious pollution of the environment" that constitute a crime, but China's environmental criminal legislation of crime of the imputation principle of environmental crime there are no make a substantive breakthrough. This is not able to meet our social needs to the natural environment and resources protection, is not conducive to the implementation of the strategy of sustainable development in our country, unable to effectively carry out the construction of ecological civilization. In response, many scholars suggest that adhere to the fault liability principle as the basis of criminal culpability principle, taking into account the special nature of the strict liability in environmental crime. But there are also some scholars disagree, think that strict liability is absolute strict liability, the environmental crime will produce a substantial threat to our country's criminal elements, and has been potential to be abused, and ultimately not conducive to the protection of human rights. This paper will define the connotation of strict liability, points out that the essence of scholars on whether strict liability in the environmental crime of our country produce issue, combined with the analysis of the strict liability in environmental crime in foreign countries, the development venation and clarify the application of strict liability in environmental crime, the objective analysis of the necessity of introducing the strict liability of environmental crime in our country, and then summarize the feasible ways for China's strict liability in the environmental crime.
