THE RIGHT TO ENVIRONMENTAL SAFETY IN THE FORMATION OF THE CONTENT OF REGIONAL ENVIRONMENTAL POLICY

Abstract

The purpose of the scientific article is to determine the content of the subjective right to a safe environment in the context of shaping the content of regional environmental policy. It has been determined that at the international level, the issue of implementation of environmental rights of individuals is enshrined in the Aarhus Convention, which defines the following key principles: 1) access to information; 2) public participation; 3) access to justice. It has been established that an important component of regional environmental policy is environmental policy, which functionally fulfills the goal of creating a financial incentive to reduce negative impacts on the environment, promote the conservation of natural resources and promote the transition to more sustainable and environmentally friendly production and consumption. The components of regional environmental policy also include the creation of conditions for greening production and supporting the eco-industry. It is emphasized that the implementation of regional environmental policy should be based on the decentralization of financing of environmental activities, ensuring the effectiveness of the formation of environmental education and environmental legal awareness, attracting foreign investment to green production and build an economy based on recycling of consumer products and waste management. Of great importance in ensuring the right to a safe environment is the creation of conditions for the effective implementation of state and regional environmental policy. It has been established that the organization of the environmental education system in Ukraine includes both formal and informal teaching methods and plays an important role in the formation of environmental consciousness and culture among the younger generation. It is emphasized that the main aspects of organizing environmental education include: 1) formal environmental education; 2) non-formal environmental education. The system of formal environmental education activities includes training in official educational institutions, such as preschool, secondary schools, vocational and higher education institutions.
