In international law, we are witnessing a transition from hard law to soft law. This is especially true in the field of environmental issues. Soft rights have received increasing attention due to their flexibility and adaptability to conditions, the creation of conditions for broad government participation, and the reduction of their resistance to the implementation of directives. The mentioned features of soft law have caused it to have a high potential in international agreements and collective decisions, especially in the field of environmental issues.

The Paris Convention on Climate Change has created a number of commitments for developed, developing and small countries, the main focus of which is the rapid reduction of greenhouse gas emissions, which is in line with the goals of reaching the desired temperature. The binding nature of the Convention's rules, the mixing of environment and security, the voluntary commitments of members based on the cooperation and coexistence of governments, the development of dispute resolution mechanisms are the most important examples of the moving from hard law to soft law in the Climate Change Convention.
