Global warming aggravated through centuries, becoming a threat to all living beings in the 21st century. When it comes to reducing global warming, national legislation, in addition to international environmental legislation, is very important as it encourages every individual to lead an environment-friendly lifestyle. Although national and international policies strive for the reduction of global warming, we currently face its aggravation, which results in climate change.
This master's thesis is based on the analysis and comparison of environmental management through legislative acts on a case study of Slovenia and Canada. The aim of the thesis is to determine which country more actively pursues their environmental management policies to reduce the causes of global warming and achieve international goals related to the reduction of global warming. By conducting a comparative analysis, we determined that Slovenia, despite having a similar environmental legislation to the Canadian one, the goal of which is to reduce anthropogenic greenhouse gases to achieve decarbonisation, pursues its environmental management policies more successfully in efforts to reduce global warming. The thesis used the qualitative analysis method, along with a combination of the descriptive, compilation and comparative methods.
Based on the observed situation, Slovenia is on a good road to fulfilling international commitments on reducing global warming; nonetheless, this field requires a faster and stricter environmental management.
