Аннотация:The analysis of the historical process of the formation of the global environmental policy of the modern states of the world in the context of the development of a multi-level environmental system is carried out. The main influence of the first International Environmental Conference in Bern 1914 on the organisation of interstate environmental authorities, the creation of the United Nations for approval of the Stockholm Declaration of 1972 and the Rio de Janeiro Declaration of 1992, which formed the modern classification of objects of environmental law, forms international eco-cooperation, ranking system of environmental policy. The thesis of the need for mutual coordination of all the participants in a multi-level environmental process, the inability of modern environmental authorities to effectively solve tasks in view of the lack of a joint action program of the world environmental system was put forward.
