Ecuador

Ecuador has one of the strongest environmental frameworks found in a country's constitution. The Constitution of 2008 includes a Right to a Healthy Environment, the Precautionary Principle, and Rights of Nature. Of relevance for climate litigation, the Ecuadorian Constitution calls on the State to "promote, in the public and private sectors, the use of environmentally clean technologies and nonpolluting and low-impact alternative sources of energy."
