In the context of the proposed study, environmental science is viewed as fundamental. It should be understood as a system of knowledge and ideas about environmental law and its constituent institutions (ownership of natural resources, environmental management law, environmental compliance law, legal protection of the environment, legal liability for environmental offenses, legal protection of the climate, etc.), the ultimate goals of which are development of the concepts of environmental law and legislation, research on the relevant theoretical and methodological problems of this field of law and legislation, formation of the conceptual apparatus and scientific categories used by lawmakers and law enforcement authorities, environmental policy analysis, and the role of the state in fulfillment of the environmental function.The subject of environmental studies, apart from the norms and institutions, also includes environmental and legal relations regulated by other branches of law (environmental management, eco-taxation, charges for special use of natural resources, environmental insurance and audit, the international and European environmental community, etc.), their specificity, grounds for creation, functioning and termination.
