INSTITUTIONAL CAPACITIES IN THE FIELD OF ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION IN THE CONTEXT OF SUSTAINABLE REGIONAL DEVELOPMENT

Summary/Abstract: In 1996, the International Organization for Standardization came out with the ISO 14000 series of standards, as a response to environmental problems, as well as concern for environmental protection. This series of standards helps business systems to align their operations with the environment in mind. The current version of the ISO 14001 standard was published in 2015. The Institute has published a large number of specific standards in the field of environmental protection that promote the environment, i.e. its segments: land, water, sea and coastal area, air, nature, forests, and the Institute’s Technical Committee ISME/TK 10: Environment and environmental protection management systems (founded in 2012), is responsible for standards related to these areas. This paper provides explanations for the basic, frequently used ecological and biological terms, as well as eco-terms, which directly relate to the issue of preserving the working and living environment in the postmodern environment using standards. The application of standards ensures better efficiency in the entire production, improves the quality of services and contributes to meeting the highest level of expectations of clients and consumers.
