Economy and Ecosystems: Environmental Approaches According to Michele Carducci

Resumo

The research aims to discuss the different approaches to combating climate change as presented by Michele Carducci, taking the terms of the Glasgow Climate Pact as a starting point. It questions how these approaches relate to the international legal system. It is justified by the importance of discussing the strategies used in the debate on international environmental protection, whether dominant or alternative, given the urgency of the climate situation and the prevalence of terms of economic interest in the discussions, with the hypothesis that the study of strategies alternatives can offer better responses to different environmental challenges. This is a qualitativa, exploratory, bibliographic, and documentary research, in which the Glasgow Climate Pact was selected as a parameter because it is the most recent. The first topic presents the historical process of formation of the concept of sustainable development and the main international initiatives that led to the Pact, while the second discusses the prevalence of the economic factor in this type of document according to the classification of the approach pointed out by Carducci, and the third comments alternative initiatives to the international axis, especially the theory of degrowth and the new Latin American constitutions. The study concludes that in the optional approach, common in treaties, economic interests still predominate, however different approaches emerge outside the main axes, highlighting demodiversity as a viable alternative for building environmental responsibility.
