Environmental law which is becoming an important element within the domestic legal systems of both developed and developing countries continues to evolve in order to respond to constant environmental challenges. However, the current era of digitalization brings about new issues particularly in dealing with critical global problems of climate change and other threats. The relationship between technologies and environmental law is complex.
