Abstract

As international exchanges become more frequent and the global economy develops rapidly, more and more multinational companies are setting up factories in China to expand their scale or scope. The establishment of factories in China to expand their scale or scope comes with the consequent damage to the Chinese environment. In various industries, most MNCs inevitably cause environmental pollution and damage in the process of producing products in the host country. However, the lack of relevant legal regulations for most multinational corporations exposes the deficiencies in environmental human rights protection. Although the current state of environmental human rights protection in developed countries is obviously better than that in developing countries, developing countries can also improve the state of environmental human rights protection in their own countries through various ways, such as government regulation, TNCs’ own regulation, and intervention by international organizations. The case study method is used to analyze and suggest the shortcomings of transnational corporations regarding environmental human rights. The main purpose is to analyze the current situation and dilemma of environmental human rights in the host country, and to analyze the suggestions of relevant legal regulation. Ultimately, the goal is to help improve the environmental plight of TNCS and host countries.
