Abstract

Currently, the Paris Agreement is the document that represents the acknowledge of nations regarding the global climate emergency. Recent reports published by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change - IPCC warn of the imminent crisis in the case of maintenance of the patterns of anthropic activities. In this context, the programs and mechanisms developed so far to pursue an increase in global average temperature below 1.5°C compared to pre-industrial levels seems to be ineffective. This work, the result of bibliographic and document research, with the application of the hypothetical-deductive method, favors the disciplinary scope of international law in dialogue with socio-environmental studies and ecology to focus on climate justice as a demand and prerogative of the new generations. The hypotheses, at the end verified, proceed in the sense of affirming that: 1) results that fully contemplate the objectives pursued by the UNFCCC have not yet been produced; 2) to address the impacts of the climate emergency, the assumptions of climate justice and the provisions of the Paris Agreement represent an important impetus for an essential global Green New Deal. The conclusion emphasizes that facing the global climate emergency involves a multidisciplinary approach.
