Abstract

The recent technical report released by the United Nations regarding climate change and its consequences for our planet was grueling (IPCC, 2021).1 But it was, undeniably, the revelation of what cannot be swept under the rug any longer. Global warming forces us to urgently think not only of new systems of social, economic, and cultural development, but also new or renewed legal mechanisms that can effectively respond to the maelstrom of risks linked to that development.
