REGULATION OF THE EXERCISE OF THE RIGHT TO A SAFE ENVIRONMENT: INTERNATIONAL AND NATIONAL STANDARDS

Abstract

The purpose of the scientific article is to determine the content of the subjective right to a safe environment in terms of forming the content of the regional environmental policy. It has been established that in accordance with the Strategy for Environmental Security and Adaptation to Climate Change for the period until 2030, it is established that the main problems in the field of environmental protection and natural resources that negatively affect human health and the sustainability of ecosystems are: environmental pollution environment by emissions into atmospheric air and discharges into water bodies from industrial enterprises; irrational use of the main natural resources and their depletion; pollution of surface, underground and sea waters; insufficient forest coverage of the territory of Ukraine; degradation of land resources; lack of an effective chemical safety system; lack of an effective system of state supervision (control) in the field of environmental protection; insufficiency of the share of territories for biodiversity conservation and resources to ensure the development of the nature reserve fund of Ukraine; strengthening of global climate change and negative consequences for a number of sectors of the economy and spheres of human life; the negative impact of the consequences of the Chernobyl disaster and the temporary occupation of the territory of Ukraine on the state of the natural environment and people's health; insufficient integration of nature protection and climate protection aspects into sectoral and regional policies; lack of educational and scientific and technical support for solving challenges in the field of environmental protection in terms of impact reduction, mitigation of consequences and adaptation to climate change. It was concluded that ensuring the implementation of the State Environmental Policy Strategy of Ukraine until 2030 and environmental safety and adaptation to climate change until 2030 is a guarantee of proper observance of the right to a safe environment. At the same time, it was emphasized that among the problems of ensuring the implementation of the State Environmental Policy Strategy of Ukraine until 2030 and environmental safety and adaptation to climate change until 2030, it is necessary to attribute the presence of regulatory gaps in the regulation of the individual's right to a safe environment due to the lack of proper regulation at the sub-legal level.
