| Sumario: | Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC) have been affected by the installation of industrial projects in the name of development. The murders of environmental defenders in the region have only been increasing due to the imposition of these projects that harm nature, accelerating climate change. For this reason, LAC countries signed the Escazú Agreement, a regional climate governance instrument which aim is to promote access rights, as well as the protection of environmental defenders. The objective of this article is to analyze the Escazú Agreement and its progress regarding the protection of environmental defenders in Mexico. Despite having entered into force last year, no progress has been seen in the protection of these defenders of nature in the country, since the murder of these people has not decreased. |
