Abstract

The constitutional right to live in a healthy environment that people have is complex because over time it has been felt that the changes that nature has undergone are impressive, this is due to the actions of man to take advantage of resources in an unaware manner, which has led to evidence of adverse changes in the environment. In this sense, this article deals with the application of the principle of precaution and prevention in cases that refer to environmental law, how an exhaustive analysis is carried out for its application, which goes beyond just making a decision within the framework of the doctrine. . Determining that the precautionary principle lies when there is doubt that an activity may cause environmental damage and in the face of this doubt, measures must be taken, and that the prevention principle lies when there is certainty that an action will cause some damage to the environment, then actions must be taken so that this damage is the least invasive with nature. In the development of the investigation, the qualitative method is applied that allows the documentary and doctrinal analysis of the raised subject, to have a vast knowledge about the environmental principles.
