In this global guide to environmental and climate change law, several jurisdictions around the world describe their countries' legal frameworks.

Our environmental law and sustainable business team participated in the construction of the Colombia chapter for this edition of The Environmental and Climate Change Law Review 2021.

In this chapter, the team elaborates on the protection of the environment and the nation's cultural wealth as an essential pillar of the Colombian legal framework. In particular, the Colombian Constitution of 1991 has been characterized as an "ecological constitution" as it recognizes the collective right of Colombian citizens.
