The concept of the »green legal culture« has become an increasingly important approach when analysing and adopting modern normative acts both at the global and national level. In this paper, particular attention is given to the relationship between the ethical aspects of the ecological crisis and the challenges it brings about, on the one hand, and on the other hand, the positive legal norms as a means employed by the human society for providing an adequate ethical and value response. The article focuses on the necessity of building ethical ideas, attitudes, values, and beliefs within the framework of the legal system as a whole, and especially within the concept of legal culture, which would contribute to the construction of sustainable policies in environmental protection and the development of ethical awareness that the environmental protection is actually a fundamental human survival issue.
