Environmental law is a complex and interlocking body of international treaties ( conventions ), statutes, regulations, and common law or national legislation ( where applicable ) that operates to regulate the interaction of humanity and the natural environment, toward the purpose of reducing the impacts of human activity.

The National Environmental Policy Act ( 1969 ), the Clean Air Act ( 1970 ), the Clean Water Act ( 1972 ), and the Endangered Species Act ( 1973 ) all were enacted with broad bipartisan support, and ultimately signed into law by Republican President Richard Nixon.

The decisions of the Supreme Court in cases such as Calvert Cliffs Coordinating Committee v. U. S. Atomic Energy Commission ( broadly reading the procedural requirements of the National Environmental Policy Act ), Tennessee Valley Authority v. Hill ( broadly reading the Endangered Species Act ), and, much more recently, Massachusetts v. EPA ( requiring EPA to reconsider regulation of greenhouse gases under the Clean Air Act ) have had policy impacts far beyond the facts of the particular case.

Other legislation included National Environmental Policy Act ( NEPA ), signed into law in 1970, which established a United States Environmental Protection Agency and a Council on Environmental Quality ; the Marine Protection, Research, and Sanctuaries Act of 1972 ; the Endangered Species Act of 1973, the Safe Drinking Water Act ( 1974 ), the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act ( 1976 ), the Water Pollution Control Act Amendments of 1977, which became known as the Clean Water Act, and the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act, commonly known as the Superfund Act ( 1980 ).
