Desafíos del cambio climático en Tabasco, México / Challenges of climate change in Tabasco, Mexico
Adaptation, mitigation, resilience, vulnerability
The State of Tabasco is vulnerable to the floods caused by Climate Change directly related to human intervention. The objective of this paper is to reflect how Climate Change is regulated by law in Tabasco. First: We review doctrinal concepts inherent in the topic: vulnerability, resilience, mitigation and adaptation; then systematically, we carry out a normative analysis of the legal framework of climate change that includes the development plan and public policies in this area. Results: Tabasco's municipal development plans do not contemplate clear, concrete or forceful actions for the proper management of this problem; mitigation, adaptation strategies including the risk atlas are null or vague. Conclusion: Tabasco has a vast legal order of climate change, however there are serious shortcomings in its implementation; therefore in Tabasco the right to a healthy environment is not guaranteed, because it violates the Constitution based on the principles of Human Rights.
