Environmental protection and its political issues

---

Résumé

The question of protecting the environment is above all a political concern. Protecting the environment has political issues because it is the leaders who decide the fate of natural resources, spatial planning and territories. The modalities of development policies are determined by politicians, even if public participation is a major and innovative element. It is therefore appropriate, in our opinion, to review the development actors and their place in the environmental protection chain. The objective of this reflection is to decipher the role and responsibility of development actors as well as the key concepts linked to sustainable development and international environmental law. The environment defined as the condition of life does not apply to a single generation, but to all human, non-human, and non-animal generations. The political issues are therefore enormous and deserve to be the subject of philosophical reflection.
