Potencialidades de la justicia restaurativa en la responsabilidad de las organizaciones sanitarias por contaminación ambiental consecuente a la actividad sanitaria

Résumé

Climate-resilient health systems are those capable of anticipating, responding to, overcoming, recovering from, and adapting to climate-related shocks and stresses to continuously improve population health. The health sector is one of the main drivers of the climate crisis. In this scenario, environmentally sustainable health systems minimize negative impacts on the environment. In general, jurisdictional orders do not adequately respond to the damage caused by environmental pollution resulting from the healthcare activity provided by public health organizations. The principles and values of the restorative paradigm represent an opportunity, perhaps not so much at the normative level, but rather in terms of its acceptance at the general socio-cultural level and at the particular level of public health organizations. Restorative justice constitutes a new scenario for the treatment of conflicts resulting from environmental pollution in the context of health care, in which public administrations set themselves up as guarantors of the effective right to health protection.
