The purpose of the paper is to introduce the legal practices of the Constitutional Court in connection with the ‘sustainability clause’ of the Fundamental Law in relation to natural resources. Subsection (1) of Article P) of the Fundamental Law is in the centre of the research, according to which: „Natural resources, in particular arable land, forests and the reserves of water, biodiversity, in particular native plant and animal species, as well as cultural assets shall corm the common heritage of the nation; it shall be the obligation of the State and everyone to protect and maintain them, and to preserve them for future generations.”
