Annotation	The paper explained the understanding of the concept of state of emergency in law on the basis of crisis legislation, which has legal implications, especially in the form of the introduction of special measures restricting human rights and freedoms, and contrasted it with the concept of climate emergency declarations, which are soft law documents without a basis in crisis legislation and without the introduction of special measures. The aim of the paper was to clarify that emergency declarations are able to cover short-term disasters, including those caused by climate change, but not the long-term process of climate crisis, and furthermore that climate emergency declarations, on which social movements have high hopes, do not actually have the legal power to bring solutions to climate change.
