Debates actuales del derecho y la gestión ambiental


Book Description

La crisis ambiental que enfrentamos actualmente implica una serie de retos frente a la protección del ambiente como un elemento fundamental para garantizar una vida digna y saludable para las generaciones presentes y futuras. Las reflexiones sobre los procesos y estrategias en la gestión ambiental representan un paso importante para asumir nuevas rutas en relación con el trabajo tanto de las autoridades como de los diferentes actores sociales en el cuidado del planeta. Asuntos como la protección de los ecosistemas, la lucha contra el cambio climático o el reconocimiento de nuevos sujetos de derechos se encuentran en el centro de las discusiones ambientales, por lo cual es imprescindible contar con un marco conceptual y jurídico que posibilite avanzar en este tipo de análisis y que, a su vez, aporte elementos para un derecho y una gestión ambiental que incluyan diversas visiones y la representación adecuada de los intereses, en especial los relacionados con las personas y los grupos vulnerables. En el marco de los 25 años de la especialización en Derecho Ambiental y de la labor de investigación científica de la maestría en Derecho y Gestión Ambiental de la Facultad de Jurisprudencia de la Universidad del Rosario, esta obra hace un aporte académico e interdisciplinar a través de tres ejes temáticos de gran relevancia y que hacen parte de algunos de los principales debates ambientales contemporáneos.

The North American Mosaic


Book Description

The North American Mosaic has four overarching features. First, it is, to the extent feasible, based on comparable information on the status and trends of major indicators of the state of the environment in Canada,Mexico, and the United States. Second, the report confirms that these three countries together make up an incredibly complex, dynamic, and interconnected ecosystem in which humans play a dominant and decisive role. Third, the report raises important and sometimes disquieting questions concerning the sustainability of some current trends. Finally, the report is a reminder that our economic, social, and physical well-being are utterly dependent on the life-sustaining services provided by nature. This report emphasizes the importance of developing mutually compatible economic, social, and environmental goals and policies across the three-country region.
