The construction of the environmental public interest litigations is an essential part in environmental lawmaking as well as judicial practice. Meanwhile, the standing criteria have been regarded as the core of the environmental public interest litigation system. In recognizing the existing legislative limitations as well as practical challenges in face of the environmental protection and environmental governance in China, it is important, indeed necessary, to draw from local as well as foreign experience, exploring the environmental public interest litigation model and standing criteria that work best for China. To this end, widening public participation in the environmental governance and environmental law enforcement, especially bringing environmental NGOs into full play and sublimation in terms of public interest litigations, should serve as the key in search of a sustainable development of the environmental public interest litigation system in China.
