movilización legal, justicia climática, derecho internacional, medio ambienteResumen
Este artículo analiza la complejidad socioecológica y los límites territoriales como temas de importancia permanente en las respuestas oficiales a las reclamaciones legales fundacionales del Consejo Circumpolar Inuit y de las Maldivas, que afirman que el cambio climático viola derechos humanos. Se consideran esas respuestas sobre el trasfondo de la comprensión paulatina en el discurso científico, político y público de la responsabilidad por los daños relacionados con el clima. Las demandas demostraron que, cuando el análisis jurídico integra el saber científico y el tradicional, se puede considerar el cambio climático como violador de derechos internacionales, y a los agentes identificables como culpables. Los críticos se mostraron en desacuerdo, aludiendo a la complejidad del daño relacionado con el clima. Los vacíos sin resolver entre esas interpretaciones arrojan dudas sobre la relevancia del derecho en cuanto a crecientes desigualdades globales sobre cambio climático y otros procesos que comprenden a personas, lugares y cosas.
