espanolDurante el otono de 2016, sendas demandas en Suecia y Noruega se anadieron a una creciente lista de litigios judiciales alrededor del mundo relativos al cambio climatico. Anteriormente, la falta de ambicion en la lucha contra el cambio climatico habia provocado un aumento del activismo medioambiental en todo el globo, el cual, alimentado por una profunda decepcion a causa de la incapacidad de los gobiernos para dar una respuesta adecuada a dicho desafio, alumbro, entre otras, una estrategia legal que perseguia denunciar ante los tribunales lo que a todas luces parecia una renuncia por parte de los Estados a la obligacion primordial de proteger a su ciudadania. Las recientes demandas presentadas en Suecia y Noruega pertenecen sin lugar a dudas a esta tendencia, pero manifiestan al mismo tiempo algunas caracteristicas peculiares que apuntan nuevas e interesantes perspectivas para el analisis juridico de las obligaciones de los Estados en materia de cambio climatico, especialmente por lo que se refiere a la amplitud del objeto de la demanda y a la dimension extraterritorial de dichos casos. En el presente articulo se pretenden analizar estas nuevas perspectivas situandolas en relacion con sus precedentes mas cercanos, asi como su justificacion desde la perspectiva del derecho internacional. EnglishOn the fall of 2016, the slowly but steadily growing list of climate lawsuits around the world welcomed two new legal disputes in Sweden and Norway. Previously, the lack of ambition in the struggle against climate change had given way to a rise in environmental activism around the world, where disappointment regarding governments’ inability to act evolved in some instances into a legal strategy to challenge before the courts what was perceived as a renunciation by the State of its primal obligation to protect its citizens. The recently filed lawsuits in Sweden and Norway are, undeniably, a part of that trend, but they have some characteristic features, regarding both the scope of the claim and the extraterritorial dimension of the cases, that open up new possibilities for the legal analysis of the obligations of States concerning climate change. In this article, an effort is made to analyse those new perspectives in relation to the previous case law as well as their possible grounding in international law.
