A proteção do ambiente pela advocacia pública na perspectiva transnacional

Abstract

This study investigates the role of Public Advocacy in environmental protection within a global context of escalating degradation, emphasizing its significance in the contemporary transnational framework. It revisits the historical development of environmental legal protection, examining the stakeholders involved and the role of the Institution as defined in the 1988 Constitution. Using the hypothetical-deductive method, the research addresses the central question concerning the effective role that Public Advocacy can play in transnational environmental protection. The study incorporates the United Nations’ 2030 Agenda and Global Administrative Law, considering the interrelationship between sustainability and institutional action as key themes of academic inquiry and contemporary legal practice. Its objective is to identify best practices and standards capable of advancing environmentally responsible legal advocacy, culminating in recommendations to strengthen State Advocacy in addressing environmental challenges. The findings conclude that Public Advocacy plays a crucial role in global environmental protection, serving as a bridge between national laws and international environmental standards and principles. They further suggest that institutional strengthening and increased participation in international organizations are essential to more effectively address contemporary environmental challenges. Additionally, the study recommends the development of normative and institutional capacities to enable a more coordinated and proactive approach to environmental advocacy.
