Climate Change. We will not talk about polar bears or melting ice sheets. The Week is about what is likely to happen to us and the people we love in the next 10, 20 or 30 years, and what we can realistically do about it.

In group: 20 students and 20 Alumni. Because it is useful to address an issue as important as the climate crisis with people from different generations.

Three episodes:  the group meets online 3 times, for a week. Each time they will watch a 1-hour episode of the documentary and then have a discussion for 30 minutes. Get ready for a roller coaster: in episode 1 we go down and look in front of what is coming with climate change. In episode 2, at the bottom of the experience, we make sense of everything. And in episode 3 we go up again, it's empowering and inspiring.

At this event, we will discuss with the Chief Prosecutor for Environmental and Urban Planning Crimes of the Superior Court of Justice of Catalonia, from the perspective of practical experience, the main challenges faced in combating environmental crime. This includes its limitations, guarantees, deficiencies, and improvements, coordination with other national and international mechanisms for environmental protection, and ultimately, the effectiveness of criminal law as a tool in service of sustainability. All of this will be based on cases from daily practice and critical issues arising from the extraordinary relevance of this subject.

En el presente acto debatiremos con el Fiscal Jefe de los delitos de medioambiente y urbanismo del Tribunal Superior de Justicia de Cataluña, desde el punto de vista de la experiencia práctica, cuáles son los principales retos que afronta la lucha contra la criminalidad medioambiental, sus límites, garantías, deficiencias y mejoras, la coordinación con otros mecanismos nacionales e internacionales de protección del medioambiente y, en definitiva, la eficacia del Derecho penal como instrumento al servicio de la sostenibilidad. Y todo ello sobre la base de casos de la práctica diaria y cuestiones críticas que nos suscita la extraordinaria relevancia de esta materia.
