abstract="Despite the conviction that time is running out, the truth is that the agreements adopted at the last Climate Summit (COP 26) do not invite optimism. Once again, they leave unstated how much greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions each country must cut over the next decade and how quickly. A &quot;guilty silence&quot;, mainly due to pressure from multinational companies, the main targets. We continue, therefore, under the onslaught of an economic model that acts as if the planet and all of us who inhabit it belong to them, endangering our own survival. The challenge remains to decouple economic growth from climate change. In the meantime, the commitment to a Not in My Backyard policy reinforces the idea of a true International Criminal Law that harmonises national legislations and avoids impunity. All this together with the unavoidable creation of an International Criminal Court of the Environment, responsible for preventing and punishing ecocide crimes and the effective criminal liability of those legal entities that continue to take advantage of the economic vulnerability of the so-called &quot;dumping countries&quot;. © 2022 Revista Electronica de Ciencia Penal y Criminologia.<p /><p>Language: es</p>",
