Abstract
The Contribution refers to significant efforts, undertaken by the Polish authorities, concerning the protection of the surroundings in which mankind exists, both internationally and internally. At the same time it is hoped that they will also remind us of the intuitive prediction of further developments in the UN system made by Polish scholars, which led to the acceptance of the principle of sustainable development – that is, preventing the degradation of the environment “at the source of economic and social affairs” Keywords: sustainable development, environmental protection, Polish study
Highlights
At the call of the United Nations at the end of the 1960s, Professor Karol Wolfke and several other Polish scholars became involved in the international environmental protection (EP) movement and participated extensively in work in this area through the following decade of the 1970s
It should be noted that even the Polish authorities of the time undertook significant efforts concerning the protection of the surroundings in which mankind exists, both internationally and internally
One can hope that the beginnings of the study of EP law in our country, which we recall here on the 100th anniversary of Professor Wolfke’s birthday, will remind us of the intuitive prediction of further developments in the UN system made by Polish scholars, which led to the acceptance of the principle of sustainable development (SD) – that is, preventing the degradation of the environment “at the source of economic and social affairs”
