DOI: 10.33917/es-2.200.2025.20-29

The article examines the issues of shaping environmental human rights as a scientific and legal category. Analysis of the influence of international law, regional and national legal systems on the development of environmental human rights is carried out. Using the example of environmental insurance and insurance coverage for the LUKOIL Group, legal instruments for guaranteeing human environmental rights as a component of environmental safety in the Caspian region are considered.
