Summary/Abstract: The European Court of Human Rights has recognized in its jurisprudence the relationship between human rights and the environment and that, indirectly, environmental degradation affects human rights by altering the values protected by the Convention. Environmental degradation has far outstripped national borders, becoming a cross-border environmental issue with great challenges for the international community. Environmental degradation affects the community as a whole and, consequently, its rights to a clean environment. The ECHR indirectly provides protection for environmental issues by creating real and effective environmental jurisprudence.
