Preferencias académicas de los estudiantes de la Carrera de Derecho y su vinculación con los Objetivos de Desarrollo Sostenible (ODS) a través del estudio de sentencias

Abstract

Abstract: The investigative work is based on the analysis that exists between Sustainable Development Goal No. 15 and the subject of environmental law. Taking as reference the ruling issued by the Constitutional Court of Ecuador on November 10, 2021, where the Constitutional Court reviews the protection action presented by the GAD of Santa Ana de Cotacachi in favor of the Los Cedros Protective Forest, in which as violated the rights of nature, the right to a healthy environment, the right to water and environmental consultation. For which an inductive-deductive methodology was used to collect the necessary information and verify the importance of protecting nature based on the doctrine, jurisprudence, and laws of Ecuador. The analysis of the sentence reflects how the protection of the basic rights that nature maintains effectively supports the care and protection of these, being a form of prevention for greater consequences to the environment and society, with the development of policies and programs that are based in sustainability.
