The crises we currently face—including biodiversity loss, pollution, and climate change—stem from patterns of economic and political development that have operated within state institutional frameworks. These challenges demand an ongoing dialogue between public international law and constitutional law to strengthen the capacity of legal systems to protect the environment and safeguard fundamental rights.

This scenario tests the foundations of constitutional law and calls for a rethinking of democratic governance mechanisms. The workshop will explore how constitutional states can reconfigure the distribution of power, incorporate planetary boundaries, and articulate principles of climate and intergenerational justice without sacrificing citizen participation or territorial equity.

Special attention will be given to the interaction with international law and the normative, institutional, and scientific transformations necessary to respond legitimately and effectively to the global ecological crisis.
