强协同 分组审议中，多位委员提及监督管理体系与权益保障机制的构建问题。 "目前草案对人为活动造成环境 损害的规制比较充分，但对自然灾害可能引发的生态破坏，以及灾后如何恢复生态、如何在恢复过程中 保障生态安全等，缺乏系统性法律规定。"王建武委员建议将自然灾害对生态环境的影响纳入考虑，就 灾前预防评估、灾中应急处置、灾后生态修复等内容予以研究完善。同时，进一步完善生态环境监督管 理责任，构建多方力量有序参与的大监督体系，将人大、司法、社会、媒体等监督力量也一并纳入。 "社会组织常因取证难、资金短缺而放弃诉讼，现行法律未规定检察机关的支持程序。"张道宏委员关注 社会组织环境公益诉讼的实践困境，建议草案第147条第3款增加检察机关支持起诉的条款，明确社会组 织因证据收集、鉴定能力不足申请支持时，检察机关可提供法律咨询、协助调查取证，破解公益诉 讼"取证难、成本高"的问题。 促落地 （来源：法治日报） 转自：法治日报 □ 本报记者 朱宁宁 十四届全国人大常委会第十九次会议12月23日上午对生态环境法典草案三审稿进 行了分组审议。 分组审议中，委员们认为，草案三审稿吸收了各方面提出的意见建议，对各编都作了 修改完善并加入 ...
