Summary/Abstract: Modern civilization encounters a number of problems including environmental issues which are highly significant and request a review of the relationship of man and society to nature. This paper links the right to life as one of the basic human rights with the right to a healthy environment and points to the necessity of exercising this right, not only from the standpoint of law, but also from the standpoint of justice. In this context, the connection between this right and the achievement of social justice at the local and global level is also emphasized, since according to the author, the exercise of this right is the basis of survival and further development of modern civilization.
