Abstract

The subject of the article is, first of all, the presentation of legal acts adopted by the international community as part of the fight against environmental degradation, with particular attention to Directive 2008/99/EC of the EP and of the Council on the protection of the environment through criminal law. The most important regulations of these legal acts were analyzed, with an indication of the penal measures proposed by the international legislator aimed at protecting the legal good, which is the natural environment. The evolution of legislation in this area will also be presented. In the following part, the catalogue of criminal law tools resulting from the above-mentioned acts has been compared with penal measures used in Polish criminal law in response to crimes against the environment, with an indication of the prospects for the development of legislation in the discussed area.
