    Abstract

    Modern society is characterized by dramatic climate changes and environment changes. There is an
    intensive use of natural resources and an increase in environmental pollution. The legal framework
    and its continuous development are essential for the protection of the environment and its sustainable
    development. The legal framework is a tool for identification and prevention of natural pollution
    sources, the prevention of environmental threats to the health of the population and the improvement
    of the quality of life of people in general. The volume of environmental legislation has increased
    significantly in recent years, but shortcomings in its implementation and enforcement are not sufficient
    to address environmental issues. The world community has relatively little knowledge of the potential
    for improving the legal regulation to strengthen environmental security by addressing global
    environmental risks.
