Abstract
No hay duda de que serán las generaciones venideras las que padecerán con mayor dureza los efectos del calentamiento provocado por la acumulación de emisiones de gases de efecto invernadero en la atmósfera. Estecarácter gradual del cambio climático convierte el "vínculo intergeneracional" en consustancial al derecho ambiental, el cual pivota, como es sabido, sobre dos principios: el principio de desarrollo sostenible (que defiende un desarrollo que permita satisfacer las necesidades del presente sin comprometer la capacidad de las generaciones futuras para hacer frente a sus propias necesidades) y el principio de equidad intergeneracional (que pretende anudar la justicia intergeneracional a la toma de decisiones). Sin embargo, aquel vínculo intergeneracional había tenido una aplicación incierta hasta la pionera sentencia Neubauer c. Alemaniadel Tribunal Constitucional Federal de Alemania (2021), que declara la parcial inconstitucionalidad de la Ley de Protección del Clima de 2019 por considerar que ésta afecta a la dignidad humana interpretada desde la perspectiva intergeneracional. Pues bien, este nuevo paradigma interpretativo de la libertad puede tener importantes efectos en nuestro país si el Tribunal Constitucional lo tiene en cuenta al resolver el recurso amparo, admitido a trámite en 2024, contra la decisión del Tribunal Supremo de avalar el Plan de Energía y Clima.
Abstract: There is no doubt that it will be future generations who will suffer most severely from the effects of warming caused by the accumulation of greenhouse gas emissions in the atmosphere. This gradual nature of climate change makes the ‘intergenerational link’ an integral part of environmental law, which is based, as is well known, on two principles: the principle of sustainable development (which advocates development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs) and the principle of intergenerational equity (which seeks to link intergenerational justice to decision-making). However, this intergenerational link had been uncertainly applied until the groundbreaking Neubauer v. Germany judgment of the German Federal Constitutional Court (2021), which declared the Climate Protection Act of 2019 partially unconstitutional on the grounds that it affected human dignity interpreted from an intergenerational perspective. Well, this new interpretative paradigm of freedom may have important effects in our country if the Constitutional Court takes it into account when resolving the amparo appeal, admitted for processing in 2024, against the Supreme Court's decision to endorse the Energy and Climate Plan.
