| Sumario: | The environment is a construction that is being better and better explained, where an idea of physical elements, of ecological support, as complex social elements participates. The incorporation of the environment within Human Rights is recent and not yet consolidated. In this work we discuss the definition of these concepts and the relationship between them. On the other hand, the prevailing development model proposes that this development should be sustainable, that is, an equitable process that guarantees to all the capacity of access to restricted natural resources and that ensures the availability of renewable and non-renewable resources to future generations. However, since development implies extraction of resources and that these are not used only for survival or maintenance of a dignified quality of life, but also implies the accumulation of wealth, development is a process that ensures environmental deterioration and not sustainability. The environmental damages affect human rights and in general are irreversible and increasingly evident, it is enough to refer to Climate Change, desertification or air pollution. The paper analyses some examples and the social inequity they represent. |
