ENVIRONMENTAL CIVIL LIABILITY AND ITS EFFECTS ON THE MITIGATION OF DAMAGES CAUSED IN THE LIGHT OF THE EFFECTIVENESS IN THE APPLICATION OF THE PRINCIPLES OF ENVIRONMENTAL LAW IN THE CIVIL CODE OF 2002

Abstract

Today, in spite of the fact that we are facing so many technological advances, in what is conventionally called the "digital age", however, it is inexorably perceived that man has not yet advanced as much as he should in terms of respect for nature, because, with the unbridled advance of environmental damage, even so, we understand that it is still possible to stop it and impose on these causes of environmental damage the appropriate legislative mechanisms to put an end to such socio-environmental disorder,  To this end, in this brief essay, we brought to light a study on the institute of environmental civil liability contained in the Civil Code of 2022, which came into force one year after the law that instituted it, that is: Law No. 10. 406; whose validity of the aforementioned Codex took place from January 11, 2003, therefore, the institute in question completed 21 (twenty-one) years of validity on January 11, 2024, so that it has been a very useful and effective legal tool to combat excesses against nature caused by human action,  mitigating the impacts with the application of the guiding environmental principles and corollaries of national environmental law.
