With the widespread recognition of anthropogenic climate change resulting, in part, from an overreliance on fossil fuels, the reduction in greenhouse gas emissions has become a central problem of government in most Western states. At the level of the individual citizen, the micromanagement of conduct has been established through complex procedures aimed at the rational administration of environmental regulation that intersects with techniques for the administration of ourselves. That is, such an ethopolitics (see Rose 2001 ) locates questions of government at the level of individual environmental rights, everyday morality, and the ethics of “going green,” as well as at the level of administration, through regulations aimed at reducing car emissions. Concomitantly, the “conduct of conduct” is aimed at corporate citizens that is administered at the level of emission regulatory regimes, as well as through an ethopolitical imaginary of corporate environmental rights and citizenship that is based on, inter alia , fostering environmentally-friendly corporate identities. Drawing on a governmentality analytic, green criminology, and the automobility literatures, we examine how emissions are governed in relation to automobile users and producers. Using the Volkswagen diesel emissions fraud case (also known as “Dieselgate” and “Emissionsgate”), which began in September 2015, as an entry point, this article examines the failure of the Canadian government to monitor and adequately punish emissions violators. This failure takes place against the backdrop of a parliamentary committee proposal to enshrine the right to a healthy environment in Canadian law. Therefore, the article also evaluates the extent to which environmental rights as human rights can refigure existing approaches to environmental violence and challenge the individualization of environmental responsibility and citizenship under neoliberal forms of government.

政府和环境权利：监管失败和大众汽车排放欺诈案

随着人们对人为气候变化的广泛认识，部分原因是过度依赖化石燃料，减少温室气体排放已成为大多数西方国家政府的核心问题。在个体公民的层面上，行为的微观管理是通过复杂的程序建立的，旨在合理管理环境监管，与管理我们自己的技术相交。也就是说，这样的伦理政治（见 Rose 2001）将政府的问题定位在个人环境权利、日常道德和“走向绿色”的伦​​理层面，以及行政层面，通过旨在减少汽车的法规。排放。同时，“行为行为”针对的是在排放监管制度层面进行管理的企业公民，以及通过企业环境权利和公民的道德政治想象，尤其是建立在培养环境友好型企业身份的基础上。利用政府分析、绿色犯罪学和汽车文献，我们研究了与汽车用户和生产商相关的排放是如何治理的。本文以 2015 年 9 月开始的大众柴油排放欺诈案（也称为“Dieselgate”和“Emissionsgate”）为切入点，考察加拿大政府未能监督和充分惩罚排放违规者。这一失败发生在议会委员会提议将健康环境权纳入加拿大法律的背景下。因此，本文还评估了作为人权的环境权利在多大程度上可以重塑现有的环境暴力方法，并挑战新自由主义政府形式下环境责任和公民身份的个体化。
