Energy justice has emerged over the last decade as a matter of vital concern in energy law, which can be seen in the attention directed to energy poverty, and the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. There are energy justice concerns in areas of law as diverse as human rights, consumer protection, international law and trade, and in many forms of regional and national energy law and regulation.This edited collection explores in detail at four kinds of energy justice. The first, distributive justice, relates to the equitable distribution of the benefits and burdens of energy activities, which is challenged by the existence of people suffering from energy poverty. Secondly, procedural (or participation) justice consists of the right of all communities to participate in decision-making regarding energy projects and policies that affect them. This dimension of energy justice oftenincludes procedural rights to information and access to courts. Under the concept of reparation (or restorative) justice, the book looks at even-handed enforcement of energy statutes and regulations, as well as access to remedies when legal rights are violated. Finally, the collection addresses socialjustice, with the recognition that energy injustice cannot be separated from other social ills, such as poverty and subordination based on race, gender, or indigeneity. These issues feed into a wider conversation about how we achieve a ''just'' energy transition, as the world confronts the urgent challenges of climate change.

The number of severe and sometimes catastrophic disruptive events has been rapidly increasing. Extreme weather events including floods, wildfires, hurricanes, and other natural disasters have become both more frequent and more severe, whilst events such as the COVID-19 pandemic represent a global threat to public health with huge economic effects that recovery packages tried to address. These disruptive events, alone and in combination, have dramatic consequences on nature, human life, and the economy, calling for urgent action to mitigate their causes and adapt to their impacts. In response to discourses of collapsology and end-of-growth theories, this monograph offers an analytical approach to developing legal responses that can help ensure the needs of present and future generations can be met through energy systems, infrastructure development, and natural resources management in these times of disruption. 'Resilience' is, therefore, seen as a common framework for the interpretation and development of energy, infrastructure, and natural resources law.With a mix of thematic chapters and case studies from multiple jurisdictions, Resilience in Energy, Infrastructure, and Natural Resources Law maps and assesses legal responses to disruptive nature-based events, and examines possible legal pathways for more sustainable outcomes, based on its engagement with this concept of 'resilience' and social-ecological thinking.

El Tomo I de la obra colectiva Minería y desarrollo constituye el resultado de un esfuerzo de docentes e investigadores de la Facultad de Derecho de la Universidad Externado de Colombia quienes, motivados por la ambiciosa iniciativa liderada por la Rectoría de la Universidad, han decidido plasmar en los trabajos aquí incluidos sus valoraciones jurídicas y críticas, y sus propuestas dirigidas a contribuir en la construcción o comprensión de un complejo marco legal que disciplina la actividad minera en Colombia y que, en la actualidad, atraviesa por una difícil coyuntura desde la perspectiva comercial, ambiental, social y, desde luego, jurídica. Los capítulos han sido elaborados a partir de diversas disciplinas jurídicas según su propia formación académica (especialistas en derecho constitucional, en derecho civil, en derecho comercial, en derecho minero, en derecho ambiental y en derecho fiscal, entre otros), presentando sus valoraciones con total independencia de criterio y opinión. El espíritu pluralista y respetuoso de la Universidad Externado de Colombia ha inspirado la obra que el lector tiene en sus manos, y en este orden de ideas, las valoraciones críticas, disidentes o novedosas de los autores han sido debidamente respetadas, más aún cuando sus análisis han sido argumentados como corresponde. El aporte de los autores aquí representado tiene la intención de integrar al debate jurídico mayores elementos de juicio en un diálogo que, en la actualidad, debe ser plural. Dada la coyuntura, el desarrollo minero no se alcanzará a partir de interpretaciones unilaterales.
