ECOLOGICAL MINIMUM AND STATE DUTIES: A GLOBAL VIEW FROM THE PERSPECTIVE OF PORTUGUESE LAW

This paper aims to present a contribution to the delimitation of the concept of the ecological minimum, as well as the State’s duties arising from it, mainly from the perspective of Portuguese law. To identify the content and shape of this concept, we will analyze the case of Neubauer and Others v. Germany and then develop the notion of a subjective right to the environment. After these considerations, this paper will list the principles of public international law applied to the issue of climate change, and finally move on to a dissertation on the determination of the concept of ecological minimum, listing the actors involved in this process.
