 Looking for an Innovative Environmental Imagination. Transnational Legal Tools for the Anthropocene: the Latin American Environmental Ius Commune

Abstract [En]: The Latin American national and supranational jurisdictional institutions are answering to the threats posed by the Anthropocene shift, by recognising to the environment its own legal personality. The purpose of the paper is to evaluate the rise of a Latin-American environmental ius commune, which is formed by a group of transnational norms and is seen as an instrument to enforce a system of protection inherent to ideas like ‘living well’, rights of nature, and collective goods.

 

Abstract [It]: Le istituzioni nazionali e sovranazionali latinoamericane – sia politiche che giurisdizionali – stanno affrontando le minacce poste dal cambio “antropocenico” attraverso il riconoscimento della personalità giuridica ambientale. Il presente contributo ha l’obiettivo di valutare la nascita di uno ius commune ambientale in America Latina, formato da un gruppo di norme transnazionali con l’obiettivo di creare un sistema di protezione basato sull’idea di buen vivir; sui i diritti della Natura; sulla protezione dei beni comuni.
