Abstract

This paper takes a reflective approach to the exercise of jurisdictional action for the defence of the environment by citizens. The exercise of jurisdictional action for the defence of the environment by citizens, and in the face of the current climate emergency, questions the existence of an adequate and effective judicial protection in environmental matters based on the Aarhus Convention. It also raises the possibility of obtaining judicial protection for the protection of the environment through various jurisdictional mechanisms.
