Environment

Resorting to the judiciary underscores the lack of governance institutions for our grand commons, such as the climate and biodiversity.

J.R.

Strengthen environmental protection through the application of current regulations and anticipation of future ones: evolve environmental law in favour of common goods and the general interest, notably through the prevention and repair of ecological harm.​

Numerous contemporary reports testify to multiple failures in environmental justice, even as scientists increasingly sound the alarm about severe planetary degradation due to human impact, particularly the phenomenon of climate change and various harms to biodiversity caused by ever-more-pervasive forms of pollution.

The Environment Commission works toward the proper implementation of legal provisions protecting the environment that were adopted over the past twenty years and are still largely ineffective. It specialises in litigation concerning biodiversity protection and the remedying of environmental damages resulting from the massive use of pesticides, particularly neonicotinoids. The commission supports the recognition of biodiversity as common heritage, alongside environmental protection organisations that have always been at the forefront of environmental protection.
