Abstract

The paper examines the process of the development of contract law in Russia and worldwide and defines its main stages. The authors demonstrate a gradual increase in the number and types of contracts in the course of human civilization development, especially in recent years due to the developed countries transition to the technological paradigm VI. This tendency refers mostly to the field of the information science, technologies and medicine, but also it has led to the advent of environmental contracts, related to the environmental works performing and the environmental services delivery. The authors also suggest a classification of environmental contracts being formed in Russia, conduct a review of environmental insurance, environmental audit, and emission of carbon units contracts, and a number of others. The authors argue that these contracts can be classified as mixed, and are a variant of agreements directly defined or non-defined in the Civil Code. A number of arguments for trends and future development of the system of environmental contracts are expressed in the paper, including within the boundaries of territories with special ecological and legal status.
