Legal Aspects of Ecological Security Versus Environmental Policy of the State

Abstract

The article presents the legal aspects of ecological security and provides an analysis of a planning document dealing with the green policy of the State. The study consists of four parts. Part one presents chosen doctrinal definitions of ecological security, demonstrating inconsistency in the definition of a notion that is often referred to in acts on environment protection. Part two analyses relevant acts in terms of including provisions concerning ecological security. Part three discusses the basis for the environmental policy of the State, and part four presents some assumptions of the environmental policy of the State that are associated with ecological security of Poland.
