Corporaciones Autónomas Regionales En Colombia Y el Modelo Ambiental Federal Mexicano: Análisis Jurídico Comparado De La Gestión Ambiental

Abstract

Currently, diverse economic and social circumstances, along with the rapid evolution of customs, habits, and beliefs among Latin American peoples, necessitate a high level of cultural awareness regarding environmental matters. This awareness must materialize in tools that governments can use to provide greater scope and action in the defense of our ecosystems. This is the roadmap of the present academic study, which, using a qualitative method of hermeneutics and legal interpretation, examines the strengths and weaknesses of the Regional Autonomous Corporations (hereinafter, CARs) in relation to their operation in the Republic of Colombia, as well as the control bodies of the Mexican federal environmental model, in light of comparative law. This highlights that the Republican and Federal models of government frame the geopolitical diversity of each country in relation to societies with similar environmental needs, but with different challenges. This is one of the main challenges to address in order to find appropriate preservation and mitigation tools in the pursuit of a common goal, which is none other than the conservation of natural resources for the habitability of their people in a healthy environment.
