This paper investigates to what extent international law has responded to the changed situation of world community which we can find through the development of the concept of environmental security. The concept of environmental security has emerged in the situation where growing seriousness of environmental degradation may result in causing international distress as a threat to the international peace and security. Therefore the study on environmental security has focused on how to deal with international environmental issues by establishing any efficient regimes so as to avoid any possible conflicts. Surprisingly and interestingly, international law has developed its theories and practices to accomodate this changed situation of world community. Examples include emerging theories such as precautionary principle, duty to cooperate, and duty to prevent as well as revolutionary international law making methods including convention-protocol approach, importance of soft law, importance of non-state actors in law making process, and interplay between global and regional arrangements.
