ABSTRACT
Th e United Nation Framework Convention on Climate Change and
Kyoto Protocol are considered crucial from the perspective of climate
change analysis. Th eir main point was that climate change and its negative
consequences represent the common problem of all the people on Earth.
Ethical analysis of the documents reveal on the opportunities to connect
justice and responsibility with the legal and political concepts that in turn
eff ects in co-creation of mutually understood meanings. Th e Air Protection
Order results from the idea of sustainable development that represents
the fundamental base of documents. However international climate
agreements do not defi ne this idea, barely comprising its constitutive elements
like intra- and intergenerational justice, contemporary and future
generations responsibility and need for natural environment protection.
