Summary/Abstract: The article explores the growing significance of environmental concern in economic, political, and social life, particularly in the context of the climate crisis. Since the 1970s, environmental awareness has steadily increased, with citizens increasingly demanding actions to protect nature. Proposals have emerged to recognize the right to a clean environment as a fundamental human right, alongside other fundamental rights. International and national initiatives offer legal mechanisms which enable citizens to participate in environmental decision making processes. Despite the existing challenges, the recognition of environmental rights is becoming a key element in modern politics and law.
