Year: 2023
Type: dissertation
Abstract: The legal recognition of the rights of Nature is increasingly rooted in a legal system that is becoming biocentric. It is a paradigm shift that provokes a reaction in the doctrine, essentially opposed at the time to admitting Nature as a subject of rights. It is from the 1990s, as human behavior on ecosystems and against life on planet Earth becomes more pronounced, that a new approach begins to emerge in social thought on the importance of environmental law as a regulator and limiter of anthropic activity. Essentially understanding the need to move towards an ecological transition, where Nature and its protection is more intimately related to the life of human beings on the planet. In this context, the present research aims to carry out a comparison between the Constitutions of Ecuador and Spain, regarding the constitutional rights that each legal system maintains to protect the environment. Therefore, its objective is to determine if the different legislations carry out environmental protection in a similar way and if they effectively protect the rights of nature.
