Abstract: The article deals with the genesis and development of the main theories of thought focused on environmental protection. It brings a reflection on the basic principles and deeper meaning of neoclassical environmental economics, ecological economics and free-market environmentalism to environmental protection. These theories represent the main paradigms of environmental economics. The article further focuses on research methods of individual theoretical approaches in terms of methodological differences. The final part of the article focuses on two main principles of environmental protection. The application of the principle of sustainable development and the principle of precaution in environmental policies is evaluated.
