| Descripción: | This work aims to analyze the implications of the precautionary and prevention principles for the environmental regulation of mining and fracking in Latin America to guarantee access to a healthy environment. The methodology used consisted of a documentary review of different sources on said activities and their consequences, as well as an analysis of the legislative part on the principles of precaution and prevention. The results indicate that the way in which these regulatory tools have been applied has no long-term effects for the prevention of other risks. In conclusion, it is estimated that institutional weakness and dependence on these activities in the region is what causes the lack of comprehensive policies that guarantee socio-environmental well-being in the long term. |
