Important Means

Environmental law, as a developing branch of legal science, has been gaining in importance recently. As such, its primary task is to examine, define and clearly determine a number of terms in the field of environmental protection. Parallel to this, environmental law has another, seemingly even more important task at this point, which is to offer adequate legal solutions to prevent and stop further environmental degradation, as it is a burning issue in the present time. Sustainable development and environmental law are inseparably associated. Legal acts shall regulate the rules of conduct, among other things, in the field of environmental protection and sustainable development. There is a large number of international and national regulations which deal with the issue of sustainable development. As people obey legal regulations, either from their own beliefs about the correctness of behavior that a legal act requires, or out of fear of sanctions that can follow, it is clear that the regulations in the field of sustainable development represent a very important means which can act as a powerful corrective to undesirable behavior towards the environment. Key words: environmental law, sustainable development, legislation, environmental protection.

This chapter focuses on the complexity of environmental problems, which is one of its defining characteristics in the sense that there are often many interconnected, variable elements to the problem. It considers the interaction between values and environmental law, which involves some reflection on differing attitudes to the environment. The chapter examines some of the ways in which these values are translated into environmental principles, such as the goal of sustainable development or the Precautionary Principle; it then goes on to consider the question of whether these principles have legal status in the sense that they create legally enforceable rights and duties. Finally, it considers broader questions of environmental justice and the role of different types of rights in environmental protection.

PurposeThe COVID-19 pandemic is still raging, which calls for an exploration of how to prevent and control pandemics to promote sustainable development. The purpose of this paper is to examine the role of the digital economy in sustainable development, the relationship between the two, the impacts of the outbreak on economic and social development, and changes in China's digital economy.Design/methodology/approachThe study used the time-series data from 2002 to 2019 and an unconstrained VAR model to examine the relationship between the digital economy and sustainable development before the pandemic.FindingsChina's digital economy has promoted the country's sustainable economic and social development; it has advanced rapid economic growth, improved people's living standards, increased efficient utilization of resources, and strengthened environmental protection.Research limitations/implicationsAmid the pandemic, China's digital economy developed effectively; it showed strong resilience because of its unique advantages. The digital economy in China has helped the country to control the pandemic in a short period, reduced the risk of supply chain disruption, promoted China's economic growth, and ensured the orderly operation of society. Therefore, countries worldwide are encouraged to prioritize their digital economies.Originality/valueCompared with the extant literature, this study explores the sustainable supply chain in a broader sense in the context of a pandemic, and how the supply chain is influenced by the digital economy. It not only includes the stability, resilience, and viability of the supply chain in economic development but also involves aspects of people's life, resource utilization, and environmental protection.

Utilization of natural resources through environmental empowerment is an intention to improve public welfare through the Pancasila philosophy. The occurrence of floods that have occurred at this time both the Jabodetabek area and other regions illustrate the preservation of the environment not running well. For this reason, efforts and strategies need to be made to anticipate disasters that will occur in the future. In accordance with the foundation of the Pancasila state that has been engraved in the life of the nation and state of Indonesia, the role of the Pancasila for environmental protection needs to be put forward. This article aims to prevent the dominance of law enforcement in the field of environment but the role of the Pancasila perspective as a way of life and state ideology must be put forward. Pancasila is a guideline for maintaining and developing community welfare through a harmonious, balanced environment in order to improve the ongoing development at this time. This research uses a normative approach to library research, by conducting a study of the nation's life view of Pancasila and analyzing the applicable legal provisions, specifically in the field of environmental law. The results of this study are to put forward the Pancasila perspective approach in managing the environment in order to develop patterns of harmony, harmony and balance both in meeting physical and spiritual needs. The conclusion of this article is that environmental management has not been carried out in the perspective of the Pancasila perspective, so that the practice of Pancasila values has not been carried out consistently in developing environmental aspects.

Effective Instrument

This chapter discusses the meaning and role of regulatory strategy in English and EU environmental law. Regulatory strategy is often thought of as an instrument to achieve certain environmental protection ends but the chapter argues that, despite the availability of a plethora of regulatory tools to implement them, regulators often face significant challenges to act in a strategic manner and to turn environmental regulatory strategy into an effective instrument of behavioural change. Against this background the chapter outlines the strengths and weaknesses of the key regulatory strategies currently adopted by both public and private regulators in a range of jurisdictions.

The Relationship

AbstractPoverty and environmental degradation are two of the gravest issues facing the planet today. The most obvious means of addressing each issue, however, appears ostensibly to undermine the other. While environmental and development strategies are largely associated with the concept of sustainable development that emerged in the 1990s, the debate between these two interests dates back to the 1940s. This article seeks to fill an apparent gap in environmental scholarship by presenting a history of the environmental protection/development relationship. It will argue that, rather than being the product of an organic development process, the concept of sustainable development and the principles underlying it were consciously shaped by a number of international actors with vested interests in their trajectory. Understanding why and how this was permitted is important not only for its capacity to throw light on the past, but also for its ability to assist in understanding and predicting the future.

Law Making

The use of dogmatic-legal, empirical and linguistic semantics methodology is focused on sharing for better understanding of the law. Therefore, views on European jurisprudence have been presented in the paper. Without a doubt, the law-making nature of European Union law takes into account the field of environmental protection. Articles in law define the tasks that are important from the point of view of European legislation. The written nature of these determinants of the reasoning of the possibilities of environmental protection plays an important role in the interpretation of environmental law.
