Abstract

If an increasing role is now recognized to the States as a driving force and a stakeholders mobilizer, it mainly derives from the multiplication of international treaties and of the emergence of notions such as public goods or commons to protect. They also vote laws which determine obligations or proclaim new rights. They adopt strategies, programs, action plans or outlines as well as an environmental taxation and public aids. They establish dedicated institutions or agencies and a communication to the general public. But their actions find limits: conflicts of interests, difficulties in articulating science and politics, mobilization of sufficient financial resources and of the stakeholders on shared objectives; unprepared turnarounds in case of citizens resistance or political change. If supportive factors also comfort their actions, the increasing involvement of judges recall their obligations, condemn them in case of inaction or submit them to injunctions. S’il est désormais reconnu aux Etats un rôle moteur et mobilisateur des parties prenantes, cela tient surtout à la multiplication des accords internationaux et à l’émergence de la notion de biens publics ou de communs à protéger. Ils votent aussi des lois fixant des obligations ou proclamant de nouveaux droits. Ils adoptent des stratégies, des programmes, des plans ou des schémas ainsi qu’une fiscalité environnementale et des aides publiques. Ils mettent en place des institutions dédiées et une communication grand public. Mais leurs actions rencontrent des limites : les conflits d’intérêt ; la difficulté d’articuler action publique et science ; la mobilisation de financements suffisants et des parties prenantes sur des objectifs partagés ; les revirements improvisés en cas de résistance des citoyens ou de changement politique. Si des facteurs favorables soutiennent aussi leur action, l’intervention de plus en plus fréquente des juges rappelle leurs obligations, les condamne en cas d’inaction ou leur adresse des injonctions.
