Environmental perspective in the exercise of the magistrature

Abstract

In this work we propose to analyze in the light of legal, constitutional and conventional norms, as well as taking into ac-count the principles of environmental law, the special characteris-tics that identify environmental processes. Indeed, the reflections embodied in this article lead us to conceive the environmental pa-radigm as a legal system that incorporates the protection of the environment in the scenarios of all jurisdictional actions. In this challenge, the judiciary is called to play a key role as an agent of change, enforcing the laws on the matter, seeking sustainable de-velopment based on justice, equity, and ethics without compromi-sing future generations.
