Abstract

This article is based on bibliographic research, using the analytical and exploratory method and a theoretical-qualitative and critical approach. The main objective is to explore the economic effects caused by climate change, with the specific objectives of clarifying what climate change is, establishing a historical correlation between the increase in global temperature and human action, and reflecting on research that analyzes the economic impacts of climate change. The research begins by clarifying what climate change, global warming, and greenhouse gases are. It then shows how human interference has been altering the climate over the last 150 years. Finally, it assesses the extent of climate damage and the reparation model under construction in the Brazilian legal scenario. Thus, the text verifies the dimension of the ecological and economic impact resulting from climate change, with a proposal for a scenario of reparatory obligations relating to obligations to do and to pay, which are cumulatively enforceable.
