Climate Justice
Climate justice in its substantive component is the right to a healthy environment and the protection of the climate system - for the benefit of both humans (present and future generations) as well as the ecosystems, organisms, and species with which we share the planet- through the stabilization of greenhouse gases concentrations in the atmosphere to such a level to prevent dangerous anthropogenic interference with the climate system.
Climate Justice in its procedural component is the effective access to judicial and/or administrative procedures, in order to demand the compliance, respect and protection of the right to a healthy environment, a stable climate and a healthy atmosphere.
At the end of 2019, we gave voice and a platform to Mexican youngsters who filed a constitutional lawsuit demanding the Mexican government to comply with the obligations arising from the General Law on Climate Change, as well as the commitments acquired in the global stage to face the climate crisis. The lawsuit filed by these youngsters was the first of its kind in our country.
