the enhancement of civil and social awareness of the rule of law. Environmental personality right is the content of personality
right development，and principles of environmental justice in environmental ethics are the theoretical support for the environmental
personality right. The environmental right was explicitly included in the regulations of personality rights in the Civil
Code of Ukraine in 1996. United States Supreme Court actually established the environmental personality right through the
judgment in the case of“Friends of the Earth，Inc. v. Laidlaw Environmental Services (TOC)，Inc.”. Worldwide legislation and
practice show that it is already a trend to set the environment personality right as a legal right although China has yet to enact the
environmental personality right. Environmental personality right is the pursuit of comfortable living environments，and a right
