The article discusses how governments can be held responsible for damaging the environment, even if they didn't intend to. It suggests that civil liability laws should focus on holding governments accountable for environmental harm caused by their actions, rather than proving fault. The research shows that government-owned facilities can be held liable for environmental damage, and that causality between government actions and harm is enough to require compensation. The study emphasizes the importance of adopting a more natural perspective towards the environment and using civil liability as a key tool for enforcing environmental protection.
