The article examines the basic rules of international legal acts regulating the issues of environmental protection in settlements. The experience of international legal regulation of environmental protection of settlements has been studied, which showed that this issue is currently regulated in the following areas: 1) international legal documents, which establish general requirements for the implementation of the principle of sustainable development and its environmental component in all countries; 2) international legal documents, which establish special requirements for sustainable development of settlements, taking into account their environmental component; 3) international legal documents, which set requirements for environmental protection. It is established that at the beginning of the XXI century. it became clear that only the international integration of efforts - economic, political and institutional, creates the preconditions for preventing a global environmental catastrophe. Settlements are recognized as one of the largest sources of environmental pollution and climate change on the planet.
