Attention is paid to the international nature of the problems associated with compensation for environmental damage, the inadmissibility of establishing territorial boundaries in the problem of environmental protection. The characteristic of the main international organizations related to environmental protection is given, the factors influencing the international cooperation in the field are analyzed. Particular attention is paid to the problem of developing the system of management in the field of environmental protection and bringing to civil responsibility of entities that cause damage to natural objects. The article justifies the necessity of strengthening international cooperation in a number of directions in the sphere of environmental protection, elaboration of a unified approach to the understanding of environmental damage and its structural components, as well as elaboration of unified rules at the international level for determination of the amount of compensation payments, exacted from the inflicter of damage and aimed at compensation for the environmental damage caused.
