Abstract

The article proposes an analysis of one of the most crucial problems of nowadays: global climate change. This phenomenon is producing negative and severe consequences, and it is expected to continue and to increase in the future, so climate change represents itself a strong threat not only to economy, development and nature, but also to human kind. The approach of the present paper is based on Beck and Gidden’s Risk Society Theory, which mainly states that society is constantly facing many risks: environmental ones, nuclear and warlike as well.

The described situation implies a demanding challenge to public policies makers, because new and strategic policies will have to be designed, in order to manage the most urgent problems and threats.

Hence, the paper proposes a wide reflection regarding to risk society theory, and the challenges that climate change represents to public policies and environmental law.
