Abstract: As a kind of social event of environment,NIMBY is directly related to environment rights and interests.Only from the perspective of environmental justice can we get a deep understanding of the causes of NIMBY conflicts,and only when the environmental rights and interests of residents are treated fairly can the scientific management of NIMBY conflicts be realized.The unclear definition of civil environmental rights,the unbalanced distribution of environmental interests and the use of environmental elements are all likely to lead to the occurrence of NIMBY conflicts.In order to prevent the occurrence of NIMBY conflicts,the principle of environmental justice must be applied to the governance.First of all,through a clear realization of civil environmental rights,environmental recognition justice can be achieved and the environment can be used according to law.Secondly,the environmental distributive justice can be realized through the balanced distribution of environmental benefits,and the negative externalities of NIMBY facilities can be eliminated.Finally,through scientific decision-making model,environmental procedural justice can be approached and the occurrence of disputes of environmental rights and interests can be reduced.

Key words: NIMBY conflict, environmental justice, civil environmental right, distributive justice, procedural justice
