Abstract

The technological-industrial development occurred in the world unleashed by the Industrial Revolution, causing environmental degradation in worrying proportions. At first, under the influence of the anthropocentric paradigm, the problem of environmental degradation was not given due attention. However, with the development of research in this area, the biocentric paradigm has been developed, which considered the environment as an organic whole in which humans are inseparable components. Since then, the Constitutions of several countries has begun to protect the environment more effectively, including access to environmental justice. This article proposes the inclusion of NGO’s as active legitimates to Popular Environmental Action.
