Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Estas lecciones tienen como objetivo mostrar de manera pedagógica y ordenada los temas jurídico-civiles que se encuentran conectados con la protección del medio ambiente. Las Lecciones de Derecho ambiental civil pretenden ser un material básico para el estudio y la documentación de la parte de Derecho privado del Derecho ambiental y, por ello, tienen una presentación sencilla y una exposición temática, no destinada únicamente a estudios jurídicos, que pretende cumplir una función didáctica y a la vez divulgativa. Para suplir la falta de agotamiento jurídico de algunas cuestiones o la carencia de descenso en el análisis doctrinal, se ofrece una amplia bibliografía por temas. La fórmula de reproducir preceptos legales en la exposición de los temas será muy útil al lector, puesto que no necesitará, durante la lectura de las Lecciones, consultar otros textos para comprobar el alcance del tratado, y será también una buena herramienta de trabajo para el estudiante a la hora de profundizar en el estudio y de resolver ejercicios prácticos.
Download or read book El da o ecol gico puro written by Albert Ruda González and published by Aranzadi. This book was released on 2008 with total page 709 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La Ley 26/2007, de 23 de octubre, de responsabilidad medioambiental, introduce en nuestro Derecho un mecanismo amplísimo de reparación y prevención de daños al medio ambiente. Inspirada en el principio de que «quien contamina paga», persigue que los daños medioambientales sean reparados de una forma rápida y adecuada. Para ello, establece una regla de responsabilidad objetiva e ilimitada, con una potente presunción del nexo causal. El potencial de responsabilidad del nuevo régimen legal, más severo que la Directiva europea que transpone, es enorme. Con ello, da un paso hacia la indemnización de daños que, aunque no afecten a personas concretas, sí perjudican a la colectividad en su conjunto, por suponer un deterioro del medio ambiente como tal. En lugar de la responsabilidad civil clásica, se ha optado por un mecanismo de responsabilidad de perfiles jurídico-públicos, que incluye a los daños ecológicos puros y atribuye a la autoridad pública un papel capital. Por ello, el presente libro examina este régimen de responsabilidad en relación con esos daños ecológicos puros y se pregunta en qué medida han quedado comprendidos por la nueva responsabilidad ambiental. Teniendo en cuenta nuestro Derecho patrio y el de otros países de nuestro entorno, estudia críticamente el daño medioambiental indemnizable -clave del alcance del nuevo régimen legal- así como la presunción de causalidad y otros mecanismos de facilitación probatoria, las causas de exoneración, las formas de reparación, las garantías y la relación con otros supuestos de responsabilidad, los sujetos responsables o legitimados para reclamar; en suma, el alcance de la ley y sus posibles insuficiencias. La tesis doctoral en que se basa esta obra ha sido distiguida con el premio Sancho Rebullida a la mejor tesis doctoral presentada en 2007.

This book was released on 2017-01-01 with total page 578 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Esta obra, que recopila una serie de artículos sobre temas comunes al derecho privado y al derecho del medio ambiente, es un homenaje al doctor Fernando Hinestrosa (Rector del Externado entre 1963 y 2012) quien apoyó con generosidad y grandeza estas ramas de la ciencia jurídica. El texto busca propiciar un diálogo académico en un escenario de confluencia de las dos ramas del derecho abordando cuestiones tan diversas e interesantes como el análisis histórico de los antecedentes romanos con respecto a la regulación de las instituciones medioambientales, el estudio de la forma como las instituciones tradicionales del derecho privado se han visto afectadas o transformadas por la función de protección ambiental del derecho, la responsabilidad por daños al medio ambiente, y finaliza con una exposición de algunas experiencias internacionales en la materia.

Download or read book The North American Mosaic written by Commission for Environmental Cooperation (Montréal, Québec). Secretariat and published by . This book was released on 2001 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The North American Mosaic has four overarching features. First, it is, to the extent feasible, based on comparable information on the status and trends of major indicators of the state of the environment in Canada,Mexico, and the United States. Second, the report confirms that these three countries together make up an incredibly complex, dynamic, and interconnected ecosystem in which humans play a dominant and decisive role. Third, the report raises important and sometimes disquieting questions concerning the sustainability of some current trends. Finally, the report is a reminder that our economic, social, and physical well-being are utterly dependent on the life-sustaining services provided by nature. This report emphasizes the importance of developing mutually compatible economic, social, and environmental goals and policies across the three-country region.

Download or read book Global Environmental Constitutionalism written by James R. May and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2015 with total page 427 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Reflecting a global trend, scores of countries have affirmed that their citizens are entitled to healthy air, water, and land and that their constitution should guarantee certain environmental rights. This book examines the increasing recognition that the environment is a proper subject for protection in constitutional texts and for vindication by constitutional courts. This phenomenon, which the authors call environmental constitutionalism, represents the confluence of constitutional law, international law, human rights, and environmental law. National apex and constitutional courts are exhibiting a growing interest in environmental rights, and as courts become more aware of what their peers are doing, this momentum is likely to increase. This book explains why such provisions came into being, how they are expressed, and the extent to which they have been, and might be, enforced judicially. It is a singular resource for evaluating the content of and hope for constitutional environmental rights.

For this reason, the Glossary contains not only financial and economic terminology and terms relating to the Bank's procedures and practices, but also terms that frequently occur in Bank documents, and others for which the Bank has a preferred equivalent. Although many of these terms, relating to such fields as agriculture, education, energy, housing, law, technology, and transportation, could be found in other sources, they have been assembled here for ease of reference. A list of acronyms occurring frequently in Bank texts (the terms to which they refer being found in the Glossary) and a list of international, regional, and national organizations will be found at the end of the Glossary.

Download or read book We the Corporations How American Businesses Won Their Civil Rights written by Adam Winkler and published by Liveright Publishing. This book was released on 2018-02-27 with total page 384 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A landmark exposé and “deeply engaging legal history” of one of the most successful, yet least known, civil rights movements in American history (Washington Post). In a revelatory work praised as “excellent and timely” (New York Times Book Review, front page), Adam Winkler, author of Gunfight, once again makes sense of our fraught constitutional history in this incisive portrait of how American businesses seized political power, won “equal rights,” and transformed the Constitution to serve big business. Uncovering the deep roots of Citizens United, he repositions that controversial 2010 Supreme Court decision as the capstone of a centuries-old battle for corporate personhood. “Tackling a topic that ought to be at the heart of political debate” (Economist), Winkler surveys more than four hundred years of diverse cases—and the contributions of such legendary legal figures as Daniel Webster, Roger Taney, Lewis Powell, and even Thurgood Marshall—to reveal that “the history of corporate rights is replete with ironies” (Wall Street Journal). We the Corporations is an uncompromising work of history to be read for years to come.
Download or read book Protected Area Governance and Management written by Graeme L. Worboys and published by ANU Press. This book was released on 2015-04-08 with total page 993 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Protected Area Governance and Management presents a compendium of original text, case studies and examples from across the world, by drawing on the literature, and on the knowledge and experience of those involved in protected areas. The book synthesises current knowledge and cutting-edge thinking from the diverse branches of practice and learning relevant to protected area governance and management. It is intended as an investment in the skills and competencies of people and consequently, the effective governance and management of protected areas for which they are responsible, now and into the future. The global success of the protected area concept lies in its shared vision to protect natural and cultural heritage for the long term, and organisations such as International Union for the Conservation of Nature are a unifying force in this regard. Nonetheless, protected areas are a socio-political phenomenon and the ways that nations understand, govern and manage them is always open to contest and debate. The book aims to enlighten, educate and above all to challenge readers to think deeply about protected areas—their future and their past, as well as their present. The book has been compiled by 169 authors and deals with all aspects of protected area governance and management. It provides information to support capacity development training of protected area field officers, managers in charge and executive level managers.
Download or read book Biodiversity and Tourism written by German Federal Agency for Nature Conservation and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 343 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is in the best interest of all concerned that tourism become sustainable and environmentally compatible. This need for "sustainable development" is and more by the responsible parties. Moreover, in the being recognised more search for solution strategies the realisation is gaining ground that tourism must be viewed as a worldwide phenomenon whose development must be co-ordinated in a co-operative effort spanning regions and continents. That the preservation of biological diversity also requires global co operation has been confirmed by over 170 countries which have already acceded to the "Convention on Biological Diversity". It is thus an important task to provide the foundations for joint action. Germany, one of the largest source countries of international tourism, must feel particularly obligated in this regard. The report published here is the result of a research project com missioned by the German Federal Agency for Nature Conservation. The study pursued and examined the thesis that the Convention on Biological Diversity be used as a central instrument for arriving at international principles and regulations for combining nature conservation and tourism which could lead to a sustainable development of tourism. To further the discussion, the authors brought the study to a logical conclusion by working out a proposal for a "tourism protocol" additional to the existing Convention on Biodiversity. Such a protocol additional to the Convention would entail the stipulation of internationally binding implementation and regulations for achieving sustainable tourism.
Download or read book Fresh Tracks in the Forest Assessing Incipient Payments for Environmental Services Initiatives in Bolivia written by Nina Robertson and published by CIFOR. This book was released on 2005-01-01 with total page 152 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Payments for Environmental Services (PES) are being considered worldwide with great interest and expectation. Proposals to create agreements in which beneficiaries of environmental services pay landowners directly for the provision or protection of these services are innovative and promising. But what real PES experiences are actually out there? This work assesses a range of PES or PES-type experiences in one country, Bolivia, in the fields of carbon sequestration, protection of watershed services, biodiversity and aesthetic landscape values. The report concludes that while none of the generally young initiatives adhere fully to the principle of PES as developed in the theoretical literature, many experiment with some of the relevant PES mechanisms. Protection of watersheds and landscape values are the most common types, though the implementing intermediaries often have underlying biodiversity-protection goals. Main obstacles to PES implementation include ideological resistance against the PES concept, the difficulty of building trust between buyers and sellers, and limited willingness to pay on behalf of service users. During their relatively short lifetime, basically all initiatives had been successful in making service sellers (PES recipients) better off in economic terms, while the effectiveness in achieving environmental objectives and securing positive social impacts so far remained more variable. In some cases, redesigning these initiatives to bring them closer to the full PES principles could also enable them to more effectively achieve positive environmental and livelihood outcomes.
