The legal regulation of environmental legal relationships seeks to to protect and restore natural resources, protect the environment from any harmful impact and improve the quality of life health protection. These aims may be successfully achieved in case a common and harmonious system of legal regulation is created and implemented. However, such a system of legal regulation of environmental relationships in Lithuania has not yet been created. The article introduces and analyses the environmental relationships, their peculiarities and social importance. It further considers a question of which environmental relationships should be the object of environmental law. In the light of the goal of legal regulation to integrate EU and Lithuanian environmental policy principles into the other fields of social life, the article also characterizes the methods, principles and functional relations with legal norms of other legal branches and legal acts. The current situation of legal regulation of environmental relationships is criticised as too complicated and ineffective. The ambiguity, uncertainty and other shortcomings of the legal regulation are caused by huge vicissitude, frequent amendments, duplication between the EU and Lithuanian laws and other legal acts. As a consequence, preconditions for corruption, law abuses, breach of subjective rights, possibility of public and private interests conflicts are created, which its causes passiveness and legal nihilism of the society. The article suggests to create, enforce and improve the system of legal regulation of environmental relationships, systematize and codify environmental legal norms, raise activity of the society and improve the level of its legal knowledge.
