Compensation for environmental damage: models of responsibility and insurance for such damage
Abstract
Since the middle of the last century, concern about the protection of environment has been increasing. Currently in our legal system, we have several ways to compensate for damage caused to the environment, depending on the type of damage, goods affected and defendant in question. The focus of the work is on reconciling divergent positions to understand how these three ways complement each other, what the caracteristics are that define them, and when they will be more appropriate, understanding that for the system to be truly effective, it ultimately has to make prevention the main objective, because restitution of environmental goods is difficult.
