Prof. Álvaro Jarillo analyzes the concept of ecological transition, its dimensions and its possible conceptualization as a paradigm or as a right. In this analysis, the evolution of the concept from other previous notions such as sustainable development is studied and the role of the individual in that process is examined. Similarly, it explores the legal force of the concept, as well as the legal assets protected in this transition. Within this framework, particular attention will be paid to its use by the European Union, as well as to other issues that affect the role of States and international organizations in the progressive development of the ecological transition.
