Digitalization of environmental legal relations in Ukraine: principles and disadvantages

Abstract

The article examines the issue of digitalization of environmental legal relations in Ukraine, outlines the main principles and shortcomings. It is noted that the digitalization of environmental relations involves the introduction of digital technologies and innovations to optimize management in the field of ecology by increasing the effectiveness of measures to protect the environment, nature management and ensure environmental safety. It includes the use of various digital tools and technologies, artificial intelligence for monitoring and collecting data on various aspects of the environment, performing analysis and forecasting to process large amounts of information and predict trends in climate change and ecosystems, creating electronic systems for effective management and monitoring of waste management, using a network of connected devices for interaction and information exchange between environmental objects, which enables effective resource management, using technologies in the field of green energy to support renewable energy sources. It is emphasized that digital technologies play an important role in the implementation of the environmental rights of citizens of Ukraine. This is associated with the transmission of data on the state of the environment, for example, atmospheric air or emissions that have a negative impact on humans, their health and life. Through the use of digital technologies, which are a special and important part of digitalization, it is possible to conduct an analysis of the environment and, with a certain degree of autonomy, develop state action strategies to achieve certain goals. Digital technologies can also be implemented in equipment, autonomous vehicles in order to detect an unfavorable environmental situation.

It is concluded that using the potential of information technologies in the field of environmental protection and environmental safety, it is possible to expand the possibilities of making informed decisions, optimizing the management of environmental resources, and facilitating cooperation between state authorities and citizens of Ukraine in creating a safe environmental environment. In addition, the introduction of digital technologies changes the internal content of the processes of influencing public relations, expanding and transforming the methods of influencing the behavior of participants in environmental relations. By supplementing traditional methods of legal regulation with technical means of ensuring their implementation, the Ukrainian state increases the effectiveness of the mechanism of environmental and legal regulation. Digital technologies contribute to the possibility of regulating public relations in fundamentally new ways, expanding the variability of the tools of environmental law.
