Legal Challenges at the End of the Fossil Fuel Era
This edited collection proposes a wide range of approaches to address the legal issues pertaining to the end of the fossil fuel era. While the fossil fuel era is coming to an end both because of the inherent limits of its resources and because of the need to prevent to further pump out CO2 in an already saturated atmosphere, the legal dispositions to ensure an ordered and rational shift toward cleaner energy still need to be developed. Not only in relation to CO2 emissions themselves but also in relation to the manifold issues related to environmental justice in an era of global climate change and global warming. This book is unique in that it provides a theoretical framework but also works to address cutting edge issues through a series of case studies.
Rethinking Sustainable Development in Terms of Justice
The need to reassess the discourse of sustainable development in terms of equity and justice has grown rapidly in the last decade. This book explores renewed and distinctive approaches to the sustainability and justice debate, integrating a range of perspectives that include moral philosophy, sociology and law. By bringing together young and senior scholars from the field of global environmental law and governance from around the world, this work is divided into three sections, covering sustainable development and justice, sustainable development in context, and sustainable development and judiciaries. This book will appeal to academics, law practitioners and policy-makers interested in shaping future socio-legal research on global environmental law and governance.
Migraciones climáticas
El cambio climático está provocando que se den fenómenos meteorológicos extremos con mayor frecuencia, como olas de calor de larga duración, sequías e inundaciones que conllevan la destrucción de cosechas, afectaciones para la salud, etc. Hay algunas islas o ciudades costeras que ven amenazada su existencia debido a la crecida del nivel del mar, dejando a sus habitantes sin un lugar legal donde vivir. Las zonas más damnificadas por estos acontecimientos suelen encontrarse en el Sur Global, pese a que las mayores emisiones de gases de efecto invernadero proceden de los países del Norte Global, los más ricos. Debido a los desastres provocados por el cambio climático, las zonas afectadas pueden experimentar movimientos de personas hacia zonas más habitables. Las migraciones climáticas son un fenómeno cada vez más visible, aunque no siempre resulta fácil de identificar, ya que es complejo y tiene múltiples causas. Beatriz Felipe Pérez analiza las causas y efectos de las migraciones climáticas, teniendo en cuenta aspectos menos conocidos, como es el caso de la mujer migrante. [Resumen del autor].

Climate Refugees
A discussion of cutting-edge developments in policy on climate change and forced displacement from leading academics and practitioners.
Comprehensive internationalisation at the URV
This book describes the practices implemented at the Universitat Rovira i Virgili to promote the university's internationalisation. This has been one of the URV's central objectives since it was created 25 years ago and will continue to be in the future. Internationalisation is one of the driving vectors behind all universities, the crucial element that allows them to be in constant dialogue with other institutions around the world, to stay at the cutting edge of knowledge, to recruit talent and to transmit knowledge.
Repensar la sostenibilidad
La sostenibilidad, cualidad de lo sostenible, hace referencia a un proceso que puede alargarse en el tiempo. Cuando este proceso lo referimos a cuestiones socio-ecológicas, comprobamos cómo, desde hace ya largo tiempo, no son pocas las voces acreditadas que han puesto sobre aviso del progresivo deterioro ecológico y sus consecuencias perjudiciales para la vida humana. Nuestra obra parte de estas negatividades para repensar la idea de sostenibilidad en sus justos términos, y así dar cabida a una variedad de aportaciones que ayuden a restituimos dentro de los límites ecosistémicos.
Environmental Human Rights
Advancing sustainable development and democracy are the underlying purposes linking the landmark Escazú Agreement with the American Convention on Human Rights. Exploring both these treaties and the relevant regional jurisprudence, this monograph provides the first analysis of the ground-breaking environmental human rights law being developed in Latin America and the Caribbean. The key feature of the regional law is the priority it gives to equality and non-discrimination for vulnerable persons and groups, environmental defenders, local communities and indigenous peoples. This book brings practitioners and academics up to date with the legal tools for protecting people and planet.
