Abstract

The global transition from fossil fuels to renewable energy is one of the most pressing environmental and social challenges of the 21st century. From an ecological jurisprudential perspective, this process is closely linked to the principle of intergenerational justice, which requires states to guarantee the environmental rights of future generations. This study aims at two things: first, to provide a critical legal analysis of Uruguay's fossil fuel transition within the framework of intergenerational justice; and second, to develop a replicable analytical model for assessing energy transitions in developing and middle-income countries, with implications for global debates on sustainability, ecological ethics, and intergenerational equity. The research method uses an interpretive qualitative paradigm with a case study design in Uruguay, through semi-structured interviews, non-participant observation, and analysis of legal-policy documents, accompanied by data triangulation and thematic analysis. The results reveal two main findings. First, there is a tension between substantive success, nearly 98% of Uruguay's electricity is based on renewable energy and normative weakness in the absence of explicit protection of the rights of future generations in the legal framework. This indicates a strong de facto sustainability but a fragile de jure one heavily dependent on political commitment. Second, this research produces the IEJET (Intergenerational Ecological Justice Energy Transition) Model, which assesses the energy transition through four stages: national context, legal framework, substantive-normative dimensions, and the principle of intergenerational justice. The research's limitation lies in its focus on the electricity sector, thus under-exploring aspects of transportation, industry, and global political economy. Consequently, the technical success of the energy transition is insufficient without strengthening laws, institutions, and intergenerational participation. An original contribution of this research is developing the IEJET conceptual framework as an evaluation tool that strengthens the discourse of global ecological justice.

Abstract

The historical background of environmental security issues and their effects on the Niger Delta region's maritime domain are examined in this paper. It examines how the environment of the area, particularly the water bodies, is affected over time by deforestation, open defecation, illegal and unprotected fishing, quarrymen's operations, oil spills, and gas flaring. The study employs a qualitative research approach, consulting secondary materials such as academic literature and official documents, in addition to primary sources, including field reports and interviews. According to the study's findings, the region's maritime environment faced several security issues, including open defecation, environmental degradation, and deforestation, which were exacerbated by the onset of oil extraction following its discovery in the 1950s. Since then, the region's maritime domain has faced increased security challenges. This study emphasizes the intricate dynamics underlying security issues and the necessity of sustainable development and environmental preservation to guarantee environmental security in the area by examining the interactions between these factors and maritime security difficulties.

Abstract

Salt deposit is one of the mineral deposits that are found in different parts of Igboland before the colonial administration. Its contributions to the economic development of the people are drawn from its extraction, processing and distribution. The study was anchored on Linkage Theory developed by Albert Hirschman. This theory suggests that a leading sector, such as the salt industry can drive economic growth and development through its linkage with other sectors. Data were generated from primary and secondary sources. They were analysed qualitatively, using content analysis to identify that the industry was an important source of revenue and employment to numerous residents of the communities that are presently captured as Ebonyi State, including areas that are not limited to communities of Afikpo, Edda, Ezza, Okposi, and Uburu. Acknowledging its impact on the economy of the state, its negative effects, such as environmental and health risks, and challenges were investigated. It is discovered that the management practices, involving use of local skills, manual mining approach, and active involvement of aged women are inadequate and could not sustain a long-term extraction, processing, and distribution of the wealth for sustainable profit maximization. So, the enterprise requires a thoughtful and problem-solving policy that could create a conducive environment for achieving profit-oriented salt mining. Implementation of such a scheme would involve active participation of entrepreneurs (vibrant males and females) with decisive support from the government in areas of policy-making and subsidizing the cost of mechanising the industry.
