Abstract: Tragedy of the Commons theory,prisoner’s dilemma theory and collective action theory reveals the paradox of individual rationality and collective irrational in environment governance,and provided three environment collaboration governance modes:centralized management,market spontaneous governance and community self-governance.But considered egoism as the unique nature of human does not meet the complex and rich nature of human,the universal existence of altruistic behavior provides a possible to environment collaboration governance.Constructing an environmental altruistic collaboration governance mechanism,needs to clarify the idea of “punishing evil and promoting good” in the construction of the system,based on the ethical responsibility of “others”,by establishing the restraining mechanism for the self-interest and the incentive mechanism to the altruist;and establishing a fair cooperation surplus and cost-sharing mechanism to promote altruistic collaboration.

Key words: egoism, altruism, social preference, environment collaboration governance
