Jurisprudencia ambiental en La Rioja (Primer semestre 2019)

Climate change law is the product of scientists’ reaction to the warning cry of irreversible degradation of the climate. Climate law could not have developed had it not been for the warnings issued by the scientific community. Climate policies, in turn, are equally dependent on the state of the science and scientific experts. The link between human activity and its influence on global climate stability was first established at the scientific level and subsequently brought before the international community. The formulation of climate law is therefore the product of different factors and situations. First of all, climate law has had to integrate scientific information on ecological processes. Secondly, climate law has developed within the existing context of international law while at the same time creating new institutions. Thirdly, climate law has also been built upon the foundation of a wide range of elements and instruments. Thus, climate change has given rise to a legal system with characteristics shaped by the combination of these ingredients, as well as by its highly evolutionary nature. The aim of this article is to examine the different elements and evolutions that have led to the formation of current climate law.

The protection of vulnerability is inherent to the Law. Many principles and rules of law are aimed at the protection of the weak or the vulnerable. In recent times, the legislation is making a very intense use of the term “vulnerability” to allude to very heterogeneous subjects and objects. This paper show the environmental and climatic regulations that refer to vulnerability. It is not possible to define a legal concept of environmental or climatic vulnerability, due to its polysemic and omnicomprehensive character. Secondly, the paper presents a classification of the different legal techniques used to manage, to reduce and to repair environmental and climatic vulnerability is shown. Finally, the conclusions are exposed. The main conclusions refer to the possible emergence of a principle of vulnerability protection and the need to emphasize the vulnerability of people to environmental and climatic risks.
