Citizens' awareness of the importance of environmental protection and prevention of environmental crime

Abstract

Ensuring the right to live in a healthy environment is not solely the explicit responsibility of the state and public authorities. It is also the individual responsibility of citizens who are holders of this right. Raising awareness about all aspects of environmental protection is the responsibility of each individual It is not just the responsibility of professionals and institutions to provide this right to current and future generations in equal measure. Legislation on environmental protection is harmonized to the greatest extent with international standards and represents a comprehensive system of protection that is constantly being improved upon, especially through instruments of criminal law and special and general prevention of environmental crimes.
