The duty of Environmental Law is to create rules and instruments for the prevention, mitigation and/or compensation of the harmful effects of environmental degradation resulting from construction, undertakings, infrastructure projects and any other interventions in the ecosystem that may negatively impact the balance of the environment. In the 1988 Constitution, the ecologically balanced environment was recognized as a fundamental right, essential to the healthy quality of life and the dignity of the human person. In the name of environmental sustainability, all projects, construction and activities must be tailored with the lowest possible level of impact and without compromising the availability of natural resources and the ability to recover the environment, in order to allow the next generations to enjoy the same environmental quality as that of the current generation.
