Zusammenfassung

The past decade has been marked by a myriad of structural, social, and economic changes, all of which are closely linked to significant anthropogenic environmental degradation. In other words, the geological period known as the Anthropocene (Crutzen, 2006) has altered the conditions that make Earth habitable, forcing the most vulnerable living beings out of their natural habitats. In addition, an increase in environmental and climate litigation appears to be growing worldwide, particularly relevant in the case of the Global South, as a means of controlling, adjusting, and comprehending the rapidly changing reality of this transformation (Global Climate Litigation Report, 2023: Status Review).
