Resumen de Legal aspects of global climate change and sustainable development
Global warming stemming from human activities tends to damage the eco-systems in such a way that poor countries as well as future generations are likely to be highly affected. This paper suggests that this problem may be appropriately conducted within a legal framework that seeks to align the general interest in the long term with the dictates of the political and private interest in the short term. Although the framework actually poses many shortcomings, such as uncertainty and difficulties in terms of proving causation, they can be overcome.
