These risks can not be eliminated, but can be managed, which requires an active attitude of both state and society. The law responds to these demands of post-modernity, turning into a preventive and functional character. The state is restructured based on paradigm called Social and Environmental State of Law, which brings to the limelight of state duties environmental issues, although not disengage from the task of achieving the fundamental social right effectiveness.
