Webinar event en Espanol (Spanish).

Within the framework of the Ecuadorian Constitution and through a dialogue of knowledge, the objective of this webinar is to broaden the knowledge we have about the constitutional protection of the rights of nature, particularly of fragile ecosystems and threatened species, as well as of the communities that depend on them, in the face of high impact anthropic activities such as mining.

We will talk about the constitutional conception to address activities such as mining and its impact on the rights of nature, as well as the difficulties to guarantee these rights in technical legal procedures (such as Environmental Impact Studies) that potentially affect them.

The event will analyze the issue with an inter-American approach, which includes the Advisory Opinion of the Inter-American Court on the environment and human rights.

This event is hosted by the Center for Democratic and Environmental Rights and the Inter-American Association for the Defense of the Environment (AIDA). Javier Dávalos will be moderating, along with guest presenters Hugo Echeverría, Ándres Ángel, Paola Ortiz Jaramillo, and Carla Luzuriaga Salinas.
