Abstract
The environmental impacts of the climate crisis are evident and prominent in the last decade. Multiple phenomena are affecting the regularity of climate and life on Earth, including the human presence as a species. The global development model has appropriated the various elements of nature or the environment, therefore, we are not in the Anthropocene era, but in the Androcentric Capitalocene era, which defends the unlimited appropriation of environmental goods (both natural , as cultural). The seriousness of the environmental crisis (and its multiple expressions, including the climate crisis) requires urgent action towards equity and environmental justice, through a just and equitable environmental transition towards the global environmental rule of law and rights, from a new environmental pact (ecosystemic or natural and social) that from the Global South could guide this transition, which can materialize with the strengthening of the alternative popular social and the pertinent and current proactive criticism that the academy must exercise permanently. A possible route and the path of the legal, political, ethical and social action necessary for the new changes and transformations that society in the multiple environmental contexts requires, could be synthesized from new conceptual and foundational precisions, on the environmental conflict, rights, the rule of law, ethics and environmental justice, so that there is present and future environmental dignity for all, humans and other species.
