A crise climática e o direito à moradia à luz de uma teoria crítica dos direitos humanos

Abstract

This project aims to analyze the relationship between the climate crisis and its effects on housing, especially those located in environmentally risky areas, through a historical, social, political, and legal analysis. In the context of global warming, the environmental crisis is associated with the housing crisis. Although the right to housing is a fundamental constitutional right, its realization is not equal, and for this reason, climate disasters can increase the social vulnerability of those with less resilient housing, as well as exacerbate existing social inequalities in the country, which result from a long process of environmental exploitation and domination. In light of this, the interdependence between humans and nature can be supported by Enrique Leff's critical perspective, which advocates for a new approach to addressing the environmental crisis through environmental rationality and sustainable development, in order to make space for the most impacted individuals to have the authority to participate in and contribute to the development of public policies for adaptation and mitigation. This contributes to the achievement of SDG 11 of the 2030 Agenda, which aims to foster resilient and sustainable urban settlements. From this study, the goal is to achieve an understanding that the climate crisis should not be viewed in isolation but as an issue aggravated by human actions on nature solely to support the current economic system, which drives increased social exclusion through the violation of fundamental rights, such as the right to housing. Thus, it concludes that public adaptation policies are necessary to confront climate injustices effectively
