Il costituzionalismo ambientale alla prova delle Corti: il ruolo del formante giurisprudenziale nei modelli di Common Law

Environmental constitutionalism in Court: the role of the jurisprudential formant in Common law models

Abstract

Constitutional Jurisprudence plays a strong role in determining environmental constitutionalism in any contemporary democratical order. This essay analyses in a comparative perspective case law decided by Common Law Supreme Courts, in order to point out views and development prospects of environmental law. A particular focus is dedicated to the “duty of care” principle and intergenerational responsibility.
