[pt] LIMITES E POTENCIALIDADES DA LITIGÂNCIA CLIMÁTICA NO BRASIL COMO ESTRATÉGIA DE PROMOÇÃO DA JUSTIÇA CLIMÁTICA / [en] LIMITS AND POTENTIALITIES OF CLIMATE LITIGATION IN BRAZIL AS A STRATEGY FOR THE PROMOTION OF CLIMATE JUSTICEDANIELA MARQUES DE CARVALHO DE OLIVEIRA 25 January 2023 (has links)
[pt] A sociedade de risco simboliza o momento civilizatório atual, em que os
efeitos secundários não desejados de uma modernização exitosa (para os que com
ela se beneficiam, frise-se) se tornaram incontroláveis. Mais do que isso. Vive-se
atualmente em um mundo em metamorfose, no qual as certezas da sociedade
moderna estão sendo solapadas diante de eventos globais significativos (Beck,
2017), como as mudanças climáticas e a pandemia do Covid-19. Dessa forma, não
se pode prever, mesmo diante de todo o avanço do conhecimento técnico-científico,
qual será o impacto dessa crise humanitária avassaladora que atinge a todos e
ressalta a efemeridade do ser humano diante dos efeitos colaterais do mundo
moderno. Embora os riscos climáticos apresentem uma tendência globalizante e um
efeito equalizador, a distribuição de tais riscos costuma seguir a lógica da
vulnerabilidade local, ocorrendo de forma socialmente desigual e injusta. A
articulação da teoria do risco com o movimento da justiça ambiental e climática
possibilita questionar a iniquidade na distribuição de riscos ambientais, em especial
os climáticos, além de introduzir importantes ferramentas conceituais que
problematizam a privatização de bônus e a socialização de ônus decorrentes da
exploração de atividades poluentes. As instituições, como o Estado e o próprio
Direito, que deveriam regulamentar e controlar a sua produção e externalidade,
acabam produzindo uma espécie de normalização de riscos, de modo a legitimar os
conflitos resultantes de situações de injustiça socioambiental, fenômeno que Ulrich
Beck (1995) denomina de irresponsabilidade organizada. A insuficiência de
respostas domésticas à produção de riscos globais e a ausência de coercitividade do
direito internacional sinalizam o relevante papel que os Tribunais em todo o mundo
– apesar das limitações e contradições inerentes ao próprio Poder Judiciário
enquanto instituição estatal – estão sendo instados a atuar na governança climática,
decidindo ações em que se discutem lacunas legislativas e regulatórias,
descumprimento de metas de redução e compromissos climáticos, sob a releitura de direitos fundamentais no tratamento de conflitos climáticos, à luz do chamado
constitucionalismo climático. Utiliza-se o método indutivo e a metodologia de
pesquisa se baseia, além da análise da previsão normativa, na revisão bibliográfica
nacional e internacional e no estudo dos precedentes judiciais brasileiros e
estrangeiros de maior repercussão envolvendo matéria climática. Espera-se que a
análise articulada da teoria da sociedade de risco e do movimento da justiça
ambiental aliado à perspectiva climática forneça importantes subsídios teóricos para
a confirmação da hipótese levantada nesta tese, a saber: se (e como) a litigância
climática pode representar uma importante estratégia de promoção da justiça
climática para contribuir para a redução das desigualdades socioambientais
resultantes da produção e externalização injusta e desigual de riscos climáticos,
mediante aplicação de ferramentas já existentes no sistema jurídico pátrio voltadas
à prevenção e reparação de impactos e danos climáticos. / [en] The risk society symbolizes the current civilizational moment, in which the
unwanted side effects of successful modernization (for those who benefit from it, it
should be noted) have become uncontrollable. More than that. We currently live in
a world in metamorphosis, in which the certainties of modern society are being
undermined in the face of significant global events (Beck, 2017), such as climate
change and the Covid-19 pandemic. In this way, it is not possible to predict, even
in the face of all the advance of technical-scientific knowledge, what will be the
impact of this overwhelming humanitarian crisis that affects everyone and
highlights the ephemerality of the human being in the face of the side effects of the
modern world. Although climate risks have a globalizing trend and an equalizing
effect, the distribution of such risks usually follows the logic of local vulnerability,
occurring in a socially unequal and unfair way. The articulation of risk society
theory with the environmental and climate justice movement makes it possible to
question the inequity in the distribution of environmental risks, especially climatic
ones, in addition to introduce important conceptual tools that problematize the
privatization of bonds and the socialization of burdens resulting from the
exploitation of polluting activities. Institutions, such as the State and the legal
system, which should regulate and control the production and the externality of
these risks, end up producing a kind of risk normalization, in order to legitimize
conflicts resulting from situations of socio-environmental injustice, a phenomenon
that Ulrich Beck (1995) calls organized irresponsibility. The insufficiency of
domestic responses to the production of global risks and the lack of coerciveness of
international law signal the relevant role that Courts around the world - despite the
limitations and contradictions inherent to the Judiciary itself as a state institution -
are being urged to act in climate governance, deciding actions that discuss
legislative and regulatory gaps, non-compliance with reduction targets and climate commitments, under the reinterpretation of fundamental rights in the treatment of
climate conflicts, in the light of the so-called climate constitutionalism. The
inductive method is used and the research methodology is based, in addition to the
analysis of applied legislation, on the national and international bibliographic
review and on the study of Brazilian end foreign judicial precedents of greater
repercussion involving climate matters. It is expected that the articulated analysis
of the risk society theory and the environmental justice movement allied to the
climate perspective will provide important theoretical support to confirme the
hypothesis raised in this thesis, namely: if (and how) climate litigation can represent
a important strategy to promote climate justice to contribute to the reduction of
socio-environmental inequalities resulting from the unjust and unequal production
and externalization of climate risks, through the application of existing tools in the
national legal system aimed at preventing and repairing climate impacts and damages.

Motstående miljöintressen vid markanvändningen i Sápmi : En kvalitativ studie med visst fokus på Malå sameby om potentiella markkonflikter mellan vindkraftsprojekt och samernaKocak, Melike, Vukalic, Medina January 2022 (has links)
In 2017, Sweden adopted a climate policy framework to meet zero emissions of greenhouse gases until the year 2045. In order for this to happen, Sweden must undergo a so-called green transition in which wind power could play a significant role. On the other hand, this development is not as indisputable as it seems, as it encounters resistance from other parties who share legitimate interests, for the land use, namely the Sami. This essay will therefore highlight the possible land use conflicts that may arise during the establishment of the wind turbines. The essay will be based on the collected empirical evidence that was done via interviews with the various parties, the wind power industry, and representatives from the reindeer herding Sami. This conflict over the land use can be restated as a wicked problem. That is, these two in a sense equally valid claims to the land use cannot easily be resolved as there exists no hierarchy of which claim is more important, or which claim is “right” which is also one of the main frameworks that will be analyzed in this essay together with potential environmental justice where this concept is discussed from three different perspectives. The results of this study show that the indigenous people feel that the menace from the wind farms not only threatens reindeer husbandry but also their culture and that these conflicts are due to too little consideration being given to it. Even though the Sami villages are compensated for the encroachments, the lost reindeer pastures are something they feel cannot be fully compensated. The conclusion refers that the main and alternatively the best solution to this insidious problem is to have an early dialogue with both parties and that a greater understanding needs to happen for the Sami to realize their importance. / Sverige antog 2017 ett klimatpolitiskt ramverk för att klara nollutsläpp av växthusgaser fram till år 2045. För att det ska ske måste Sverige genomgå en så kallad grön omställning där vindkraft kan spela en betydande roll. Dessutom är denna utveckling inte så obestridlig som den verkar, eftersom den möter motstånd från andra parter som delar legitima intressen, för markanvändningen, nämligen de renskötande samerna. Denna uppsats kommer belysa de möjliga markanvändningskonflikter som kan uppstå vid etableringen av vindkraftverken. Uppsatsen kommer att baseras på den insamlade empiri som gjorts via intervjuer med de olika parterna, vindkraftsindustrin och representanter från renskötande samer. Denna konflikt om markanvändningen kan återges som ett lömskt problem (wicked problem). Det vill säga att dessa två i en mening lika giltiga anspråk på markanvändningen kan inte lätt lösas eftersom det inte finns någon hierarki över vilket påstående som är viktigast, eller vilket påstående som är "rätt", vilket också är en av huvudramarna som kommer att analyseras i denna uppsats tillsammans med potentiell miljörättvisa där detta koncept diskuteras ur tre olika perspektiv. Resultaten av denna studie visar att urbefolkningen upplever att hotet från vindkraftsparkerna inte bara hotar rennäringen utan även deras kultur och att dessa konflikter beror på att det tas för lite hänsyn till det. Även om samebyarna kompenseras för intrången är de förlorade renbetesmarkerna något som de upplever inte kan kompenseras fullt ut. Slutsatsen visar att den främsta och alternativt bästa lösningen på detta lömska problem är att ha en tidig dialog med, och att en större förståelse behöver ske utifrån båda parter.

Les effets du chlordécone sur les citoyens français de GuadeloupeMagnier, Christel 12 1900 (has links)
Comment comprendre les effets du chlordécone sur les citoyens français de Guadeloupe, dans une perspective postcoloniale? L’histoire de la Guadeloupe étant dans le passé une colonie française, où l’esclavage était pratiqué, a encore des conséquences aujourd’hui. La gestion de la France de ce qui est désormais considéré comme une région, ou encore un outre-mer, décèle certaines particularités. L’usage du chlordécone, un pesticide toxique, fait partie de ces particularités de l’histoire de la gestion française de la Guadeloupe. Ce mémoire a pour objectif de mettre en lumière la lecture que se font les citoyens français de la Guadeloupe du phénomène de la crise du chlordécone, et comment cela affecte leur quotidien, leur identité citoyenne, et leur sentiment d’appartenance. La spécificité de ce mémoire réside dans le terrain effectué auprès de citoyens non politisés français de Guadeloupe. Effectivement, nous avons mené une étude en ayant pour but d’analyser l’expérience des Guadeloupéens, qui vivent de façon constante en Guadeloupe avec le problème du chlordécone. Nous avons mené des entretiens semi-directifs, en soumettant une série de questions à neuf participants. Le guide d’entretien regroupe trois thèmes : l’alimentation et les effets sur la vie quotidienne des citoyens, les stratégies collectives ou individuelles pour répondre à ces effets, et la construction de leur identité française et de leurs appartenances autour de ces thématiques. Les résultats de ce terrain permettent d’inscrire le chlordécone dans l’ensemble plus large de la mauvaise gestion politique de la France et des élus locaux. La majorité des participants ne s’identifient pas à leur citoyenneté française, et ce en raison de la culture qui les sépare, de différentes injustices (dont le chlordécone), le manque de confiance en l’État français, et de l’environnement (l’île étant très différente de la France hexagonale). Les effets du chlordécone sont très présents dans le quotidien des participants, et ce, de façon consciente et inconsciente. Leurs habitudes alimentaires, leurs stratégies d’achat, et leur santé sont des aspects du quotidien des Guadeloupéens qui sont affectés. Un aspect particulièrement intéressant de cette recherche est l’effet psychologique du chlordécone. Tous les participants se considèrent comme contaminés, et ce, même sans avoir fait d’examens médicaux. Les études étant minimes sur les effets sur la santé, de nombreuses questions minent les participants. Toutefois, bien que les participants ne soient pas forcément au courant des mesures prises par l’État pour résoudre le problème du chlordécone, il en existe et des budgets sont alloués pour cela. Ainsi, comme certains l’ont évoqué, la résolution de la crise, et le futur de la Guadeloupe sont entre les mains de l’action citoyenne. / How to understand the effects of chlordecone on the French citizens of Guadeloupe, from a postcolonial perspective? The history of Guadeloupe being a former French colony, where slavery was practised, still has consequences today. France's management of what is now considered a region, or even an overseas territory, reveals certain particularities. The use of chlordecone, a toxic pesticide, is one of these peculiarities in the history of French management of Guadeloupe. This dissertation attempts to shed light on the reading that French citizens of Guadeloupe have of the phenomenon of the chlordecone crisis, and how this affects their daily lives, their civic identity, and their feelings of belonging. The specificity of this thesis lies in the fieldwork carried out with non-politicized French citizens of Guadeloupe. Indeed, I conducted a study with the aim of analyzing the experience of Guadeloupeans, who live constantly in Guadeloupe with the problem of chlordecone. I conducted semi-structured interviews, submitting a series of questions to nine participants. The interview guide brings together three themes: food and the effects on the daily life of citizens, collective or individual strategies to respond to these effects, and the construction of their French identity, and their affiliations around these themes. The results of this field make it possible to include chlordecone in the broader whole of the political mismanagement of France and local elected officials. The majority of participants do not identify with their French citizenship, due to the culture that separates them, various injustices (including chlordecone), lack of trust in the French state, and the environment (the island being very different from mainland France). The effects of chlordecone are very present in the daily lives of the participants, both consciously and unconsciously. This is reflected in their eating habits, in their purchasing strategies, and in their health and that of their loved ones. A particularly interesting aspect of this research is the psychological effect of chlordecone. All the participants consider themselves contaminated, even without having done any tests. With minimal studies on health effects, many questions plague participants. However, although the participants are not necessarily aware of the measures taken by the State to solve the problem of chlordecone, there are some and budgets are allocated for it. Thus, as some have mentioned, the resolution of the crisis, and the future of Guadeloupe are in the hands of citizen action.

L’opérationnalisation de la justice procédurale par les politiques environnementales des banques au QuébecQuenneville, Danielle 08 1900 (has links)
Le présent mémoire porte sur l’analyse des politiques environnementales des institutions financières au Québec en relation avec la justice procédurale. L’approche empirique consiste en une analyse documentaire des politiques environnementales et présente deux objectifs : le premier est d’établir des critères spécifiques de la justice procédurale par une revue des normes de développement durable pour le domaine bancaire; et le deuxième est de déterminer comment les institutions financières au Québec intègrent les critères de la justice procédurale dans le processus de création de politiques environnementales. L’application du cadre d’analyse opérationnalisé de la justice procédurale révèle le peu de détail sur les processus participatifs liés aux critères d’inclusivité ayant mené à l’obtention des résultats présentés au sein de la documentation. Les politiques environnementales s’avèrent plutôt axées sur les principes de gestion du risque environnemental, et les rapports ESG sur les engagements à long terme des banques selon des objectifs de développement durable variés. L’analyse révèle une présence importante des critères de transparence, et une moins grande prédominance des critères d'inclusivité et de participation. Ceci permet d’identifier une occasion pour les banques à engager les différentes parties prenantes de concert les unes avec les autres sur des décisions les affectant. / This thesis focuses on the analysis of the environmental policies of financial institutions
in Quebec in relation to procedural justice. The empirical approach consists of a documentary
analysis of environmental policies and has two objectives: the first is to establish specific
criteria of procedural justice through a review of sustainable development standards for the
banking sector; and the second is to determine how financial institutions in Quebec integrate
the criteria of procedural justice into the process of creating environmental policies. The
application of the operationalized analytical framework of procedural justice reveals the lack
of detail on the participatory processes related to the inclusiveness criteria that led to the
obtaining of the results presented in the documentation. Environmental policies tend to focus
on environmental risk management principles, and ESG reporting on banks' long-term
commitments to various sustainable development goals. The analysis reveals a significant
presence of transparency criteria, and a lesser predominance of inclusiveness and participation
criteria. This identifies an opportunity for banks to engage different stakeholders in concert
with each other on decisions affecting them.

Justice environnementale et criminologie verte: exploration des représentations autochtones des injustices et des transgressions liées à l’environnementRivard, Justine 08 1900 (has links)
Notre étude aborde les représentations autochtones des transgressions liées à l’environnement et
celles de la justice environnementale au Canada à travers l’analyse de documentaires réalisés par
des Autochtones et produits par Wapikoni mobile. Grâce à l’utilisation d’une méthodologie
qualitative, nous visons à mettre les points de vue autochtones au premier plan de notre étude et
ainsi présenter les expériences de transgressions et d’injustices environnementales telles qu’elles
sont vécues et représentées par les réalisateurs et par les intervenants qui sont intégrés dans les
documentaires. L’étude des documentaires nous donne aussi un accès privilégié aux
représentations de la nature et du territoire, ainsi qu’aux rapports avec les Allochtones et l’État
canadien.
Les résultats de notre analyse des documentaires viennent souligner la place fondamentale de la
nature et du territoire dans les représentations autochtones, et exposent la gravité extrême des
atteintes à l’environnement pour ces communautés. Les documentaires indiquent que les injustices
et les transgressions environnementales ont des conséquences incommensurables pour les peuples
autochtones. Notre analyse révèle aussi la place de l’État canadien, la structure coloniale et les
valeurs capitalistes dans ces actes. Ces éléments sont mis en lumière à travers les représentations
autochtones d’une responsabilité accrue des acteurs gouvernementaux et organisationnels
accompagnée de rapports antagonistes avec les Allochtones, qui engendrent plusieurs réactions
autochtones aux injustices et aux transgressions. Finalement, notre analyse dégage des
documentaires un lot de revendications essentielles afin de parvenir à une justice environnementale
autochtone. / Our study addresses Indigenous representations of environmental transgressions and
environmental justice in Canada through the analysis of Indigenous documentary short-films
produced by Wapikoni Mobile. Through the use of qualitative methodology, we aim to bring
Indigenous perspectives to the forefront of our study and thus present the experiences of
environmental transgressions and injustices as represented by the documentary filmmakers, as well
as their participants. The study of documentaries also gives us privileged access to representations
of nature and land, as well as to relations with non-Natives and the Canadian state.
The results of our analysis highlight the fundamental place of nature and land in Indigenous
representations present in the short-films, and expose the extreme severity of environmental
damage to these Indigenous communities. The documentaries indicate that environmental
injustices and transgressions have immeasurable consequences for Indigenous peoples. Our
analysis also reveals the place of the Canadian state, the colonial structure and capitalist values in
these acts. These elements are highlighted through Indigenous representations of increased
responsibility by state and corporate actors accompanied by antagonistic relationships with Non-Indigenous people, which generate multiple Indigenous reactions to injustices and transgressions.
Finally, our analysis identifies from these documentaries a set of claims essential to achieving
Indigenous environmental justice.
