Summary/Abstract: The development of new modalities of global legal protection, at the beginning of 21st century, due to fundamental shifts in paradigm (evolution from a consumerist society pattern to the sustainable development model, reasserted in the 2030 Agenda) is owed implicitly by the acknowledgement of new forms of stress (the stress generated by man on the nature), in the environmental law. Not only the human being, as an individual, but also the peoples, states and global or multinational actors as companies exploit, damage, destroy or irreversibly affect nature. In order to prevent and manage all these forms of exploitation, damage, destruction or pollution of the nature, derived from the consumer society pattern within the general functioning of human civilization, it is also necessary to initiate special forms of legal protection regarding nature. Thus, the object of this paper is to acknowledge stress on the environment caused by the human being and to propose measures at regional, national and international levels to protect nature against this particular form of pollution.
