Summary/Abstract: Nowadays, people have become increasingly concerned about topics such as: the environment, climate, ecology, climate change. Human coexistence on our beautiful blue planet currently involves, more than ever, the development of a legal conscience. In this background, this study proposes a generous objective, namely to know the general legal framework regarding the regulation in Romanian legislation of the right to a healthy and ecologically balanced environment. From this perspective, we believe that the theme is highly topical and important for several categories of subjects: private individuals, public authorities, but also for states, to a large extent. The proposed architecture of the paperwork consists of several parts, organized in a logical sequence. Part I provides a brief introduction to the general subject of the topic. Part II analyzes the legislative framework in order to know how the constituent legislator regulated the right to a healthy environment. Part III focuses on discussing the contribution of case-law in shaping the state's obligation to provide the legal framework for the exercise of the right to a healthy and ecologically balanced environment.
