The aim of the course is to provide the students with fundamental concepts, processes, principles and instruments of environmental policy both on general level and in the frame of EU and the Czech republic. The way out of the course is the outline of ecological aspects and impacts of modern civilisation development.

After this general outline, the brief outline of development, principal documents and current strategies and projects of environmental policy of EU follow.
