The Media Image of Afghanistan in Europe on the Example of Poland and the Possibilities of its Positive Change Thanks a Pro-environmental Legal Culture

Legal and non-legal factors, including religion, influence legal culture. In Europe, it is accepted that religious factors can have a disruptive effect on the legal system. The situation changes if faith carries positive arguments in favour of environmental protection. Thus, environmental legal norms receive additional justification. The example of Afghanistan is interesting because the image of this country in the European media is usually negative. Therefore, the research problem is the question: whether the negative image of Afghanistan can be changed through the involvement of the Afghan government and the Islamic faith in environmental issues. The thesis of the article is that such a change is possible because European societies do not always support the policies of great powers, are knowledgeable about climate change and at the same time are interested in other cultures. Media information from Poland shows that Afghanistan's religiously grounded approach to climate change provides arguments for international aid. An analysis of digital texts and literature was used for this purpose.
