Summary

The Polish legal system

16.01 Poland is a republic with a civil law legal system. The primary Polish legislation is its Constitution of 1997 (‘the Polish Constitution’) and the main sources of law are: (i) ratified international treaties (including the treaties concerning participation in the European Union and the secondary European legislation in the form of regulations that have direct effect in Member States); (ii) statutes (acts passed by the Parliament and executed by the President); and (iii) executive orders (issued by the Government or relevant ministers).

The governmental stance on climate change

16.02Poland is both Party to the FCCC and a member of the European Union. Consequently its obligations related to climate change result from these two legal regimes.
