A ação multinível desempenhada a partir da competência constitucional suplementar no combate à mudança climática: o atraso do município de Natal/RN na adequação ao Acordo de Paris

Abstract

Man's relationship with nature permeates throughout history, since the emergence of humanity, representing a decisive factor in the social and political organization of civilizations and which, at times, was harmful and irresponsible. Bearing in mind the need to restore such an environmental balance, the international community has, since 1992, sought, through successive international commitments, to promote the protection of the environment and combat degradation, an action that places international law before a matter that impacts both the principle of human dignity and the right to life itself and other related matters, needing to reconcile the transterritorial nature of the issue with the territorial sovereignty of national States. The most recent climate management instrument is the Paris Agreement, which succeeded the Kyoto Protocol, initiating a new phase in the international climate regime, marked by greater cooperation not only internationally, but between the governmental levels of the States Parties, highlighting the performance of cities, one of the main responsible for GHG emissions and also one of the most vulnerable to its effects. Therefore, the present study, using a qualitative and quantitative research, intends, based on items I and II of art. 30 and VI and VII of art. 23 of the Federal Constitution to analyze the competence of the city of Natal/RN in combating climate change and its adverse effects, using methodological procedures such as exploratory and bibliographical research, with consultation of printed and electronic media.
