El cambio climático como un elemento disruptivo de la noción de frontera en el derecho y las relaciones internacionales

Abstract

[eng] Due to its global nature and effects, climate change is generating considerable tension in several fundamental concepts and principles of public international law, such as the principles of no harm and prevention, human rights, or the very physical basis on which the concept of territorial sovereignty is grounded. At a time when the fragility of the natural systems on which human civilization as we know it is based is becoming increasingly evident, with devastating consequences, International law must adopt an eco-centric perspective that enables it to move beyond the traditional State-centric vision, which is proving unable to provide solutions to the almost existential challenges of an era that some are already beginning to call the Anthropocene.
