Abstract

Environmental protection law-making is a dynamically developing type of sectoral law-making at the national level, which plays a significant role in the process of cognition and legal transformation of interaction between society and nature. It reflects the changing natural and related social, economic and other legally significant realities of the life of Russian society, on the one hand, fixing the achieved level of development of social relationships in the environmental sphere, and on the other — stimulating their modernization in the conditions of solving the problems of transition to sustainable development.
