The Effectiveness of Carbon Neutralization: Fundamental Right to Development

Abstract

In this study, the problem of carbon neutralization is addressed due to the greenhouse effect, including the international mechanisms involved, in order to demonstrate the possibility of implementation of rights through an understanding of the developmental theory as freedom, together with readings about the dynamogenic process and social education. The legal responsibilities used worldwide to deal with the global warming issue, indicating carbon neutralization as one of the possible solutions, is supported by the Kyoto Protocol and the Paris Agreement regarding the clean development. The potential conditions are discussed in favor of the fundamental right to an ecologically balanced environment. This investigation adopts the critical analytical methodology, addressing in a relational way the developmental theory as freedom, the normative production, and education, which are essential for individuals to construct the values of society, in order to achieve an integral developmental purpose. Finally, this work shows that the developmental theory as freedom presents solid foundations leading us to believe that its application might help the world to find solutions that meet the reduction targets of the greenhouse effect gases, ensuring, therefore, proper conditions to future generations, through a dynamogenic process that assures an integral, financially feasible, socially fair and environmentally responsible development.
