The project aims at exploring the growing legal trend, at the international and European level, in using the principle of solidarity and collective human rights to urge States to tackle environmental problems and make progress towards environmental sustainability. Research activities will focus on recent developments which are taking place within the framework of both universal and regional human rights systems, not only in Europe, but also in Africa and Latin America, concerning collective claims to the protection of environment, intended as a common good of humankind. Special attention will be devoted to the intergenerational dimension of such claims, that is to their aim of protecting environmental interests and rights of future generations.

This project has received funding from Ministry of University and Research (MUR) – PRIN 2022
