企业破产中环境债权清偿顺位的现实困境与规则重构OA

With the deepening of the concept of green development,environmental protection has become an indispensable component of the national governance system.However,in corporate bankruptcy proceedings,environmental claims—as an im-portant legal tool for safeguarding public interests and creditor interests—have long been marginalized in terms of priority of repay-ment.This paper analyzes the concept,types,and characteristics of environmental claims in China,identifying institutional defi-ciencies in the current legal system that prevent environmental claims from receiving the protection they deserve.Drawing on Chi-na's judicial practices,the paper systematically categorizes various types of environmental claims;it then compares these catego-ries with existing priority claim categories based on their public interest,urgency,and non-voluntary nature,proposing differenti-ated priority arrangements for their repayment.This aims to urge enterprises to fulfil their environmental responsibilities,improve China's green bankruptcy law system,and enhance environmental governance efficiency.
