Abstract

Japan created domestic economic prosperity at the cost of environmental damage after World War II, and then achieved remarkable results in controlling environmental pollution in a short time. The article systematically analyzes the beneficial experience of Japan's environmental governance from the aspects of environmental governance laws, policies, cultural education, and energy conservation. Japan has played an active role in governance through measures such as strengthening legislation and policy innovation to provide comprehensive and standardized legal policy guarantees, popularizing environmental education to improve public environmental awareness, and implementing environmental pollution liability insurance to reduce economic losses caused by environmental problems, which has a certain reference value for China's environmental protection work.
