Type: article
Abstract: This article seeks to elucidate whether there is convergence between the environmental protection conferred by the “new” Latin American constitutionalism, represented by the Ecuadorian and Bolivian political charters, and the degrowth’s theory. The world scenario of environmental degradation in search of unrestricted economic growth in a context of finite natural resources demonstrates the need for instruments capable of sustainable development. The constitutions of Ecuador and Bolivia are references in this sense, because they elevate the environment as a network of a system of which, as animal species, the human species is dependent. In Europe, the degrowth’s theory gains notoriety by presenting a model of radical change of society in what concerns its priorities, controversy colonial paradigms of production, supply and consumption. In the end the research demonstrates that protection granted to the environment by the Latin American constitutions addressed and the degrowth’s theory are mechanisms to guarantee sustainability
