Summary

This paper comments on the right to an adequate environment. This right is not the result of social development, but a fundamental requirement for a progress. The right is linked to human life itself: ubi homo, ibi societas; ubi societas, ibi ius. An adequate environment is obviously a prior requirement of law itself; without an adequate environment, there are no humans, no society; no society no law.
