Abstract:  The connection between energy law and environmental law is reflected through the influ-
ence that the field of energy, i.e. subjects of energy law, do their activity on the environment. The fact
we're having in mind that energy activities (production, transport, consumption, storage...) continu-
ally disturb the environment. The aim of this paper is exactly to point out the connection between
the use of energy and the adverse effects that these activities cause during their normal performance,
which is sometimes tolerated for economic or other reasons, although through their effects in the long
term may be detrimental. In this regard, the paper analyzes connection between energy law and envi-
ronmental law by analyzing the terms, sources and principles of these two branches of law. Comparing
the regulations between one and the other area of law, it concludes that the legal acts which regulate
the field of energy, emphasize the requirement for respecting the regulations of the environmental
protection, which indicates the connection between of the areas that are the subject of research. In this
regard, when the competent authority makes decisions which are related to the one of the foregoing
areas, it must also have in mind, i.e. consult regulations from another area too, which indicates the
need for an integrated approach. Certainly, the field of energy is not the only polluter of the environ-
ment, but the overall influence of primary and secondary sources of pollution in this field, which are
the consequences of the necessity of production and consumption of energy, it is not negligible.

Keywords:  environmental law, energy law, The Paris Agreement, The Energy Charter Treaty
