Resumen

Earth system science has shown that the Earth’s life-enabling conditions rely on its interconnected, complex, adaptive system composed of natural processes, biogeochemical cycles, and energy fluxes. Although Earth’s future depends on maintaining this system in a well-functioning and stable state, to date, the law fails to effectively protect it. Earth system law has recently been proposed as a new legal paradigm able to embrace the complexity and non-linearity underlying the Earth system functioning. In exploring the normative aspects of the Earth system this paper proposes a conceptual framework that integrates three aspects for strengthening the law’s role in protecting the Earth system: adaptiveness, systems regulation, and planetary justice. Ultimately, this paper discusses the implications for Earth system law to integrate adaptiveness, systems regulation, and planetary justice and protect the planetary conditions that sustain all life forms.
