Abstract

The recognition of the environmental role of rights within the paradigm of intergenerational environmental justice has been progressively influenced by the coexistence of another paradigm not necessarily exclusive to it, based on the recognition of intrinsic values and rights of nature, within the framework of intergenerational ecological justice.

Intergenerational rights and the recognition of the rights of nature, emancipated from its consideration as an object (legal right) and recognized as subject of rights, are presented as rights of fourth and fifth generation, that challenge the prevailing anthropocentric conceptions of environmental law.

In this context, the argument will focus in the progressive legal and jurisprudential recognition in many countries of the intrinsic values and rights of nature in the framework of an intergenerational ecological justice, challenges the new paradigms that distinguish current legal and political debates, about the relationship between human rights and the environment.
