Synopsis

This interdisciplinary research examines the complex relationship between environmental protection, government policies, and armed conflicts, with a focus on emerging threats, including the exploitation of natural resources for war purposes. The sociolegal analysis reveals the diverse problems associated with conflict dynamics, highlighting both direct and indirect impacts on human rights and the environment. The book emphasizes the necessity for national defense policies and strategies that address environmental challenges cohesively, considering them an integral part of the strategic context. The research underscores how environmental degradation affects human security and enables the actions of criminal actors, requiring a coordinated response to counteract the destabilization of the country. Utilizing a qualitative and interdisciplinary approach, it analyzes the environment as a victim and its role in post-agreement processes, emphasizing the need to recognize it as a rights-holder. This descriptive study employs interpretive hermeneutics to analyze primary and secondary sources, shedding light on the challenges associated with consolidating territorial peace and multidimensional security in Colombia.
