Abstract
Governance, a symbol of a new modernity in modes of public action and corporate management, is the fourth pillar of sustainable development. The links between governance and the environmental principle of accountability seem inextricable. As a result, it is necessary to analyze these links and notions arising from the principle of responsibility in environmental law. On the one hand, it will be shown that the principles of prevention and precaution derive from the principle of accountability applied to governance. On the other hand, applying the principle of responsibility to governance issues requires defining the notions of temporary and emergency and in a current context of economic imperatives. This principle reorganizes private and public sector relations.
