So, gradual changes regarding the relationship between human being and environment forms the cornerstone of the new environmental philosophical perspectives and are considered as continuous resources to support environment protecting plans that are present in national, regional and global levels. Meanwhile, population increase one hand and reduction of environment potentials on the other hand, have brought about geopolitical challenges and threats to the world whose perspective is accompanied with global crises, disputes and other difficulties. Methods: In this research, information has been collected by observing a library according to documents, texts, articles, etc. And in terms of the type of methodology and data, it is considered a qualitative method. Findings: The findings of this research show the geopolitical explanation of developments regarding human being and environmental relationships and its consequences that engulfed the world in the form of geopolitical crises, which on the one hand have covered the world in the form of geopolitical crises, and on the other hand, challenged environmental security in different local, national and global scales. It has endangered the sovereignty of f nation-states in how to manage environmental risks and crises. Discussion and Conclusion: The results of this research show that the adherence of national governments to the principles of the green geopolitics system can be the most appropriate approach to alleviate the consequences of the crisis resulting from the human being and environmental relationships at the national, regional and global levels.
