Abstract

The article examines civil liability for environmental damage in China, Japan and South Korea from a private law perspective. Through a comparative methodology, it analyses the normative frameworks, the criteria for attribution of liability (including fault‑based and strict liability), and the recognition of pure ecological harm. Emphasis is placed on procedural tools, evidentiary burdens, and emerging models of collective redress. The study also explores trends toward convergence and transnational harmonization.
