    Desafios de implementación de la regulación trasnacional aplicable en Colombia en materia de cambio climático, derechos humanos y la actividad empreserial
    (Universidad EAFIT, 2025) Montenegro Montoya, Alejandro José; Vallejo Piedrahíta, Catalina
    This research aimed to identify and describe the transnational regulations on business and human rights related to climate change that are applicable in Colombia. The study began with the recognition that, although there is a growing body of international and regional regulations on these matters, their implementation faces multiple challenges, particularly in contexts like Colombia. Through a dogmatic and historical-legal analysis of international treaties, soft law standards, European and Latin American regulations, and national legal frameworks, the study examined the evolution of transnational law and its capacity to influence corporate conduct in relation to climate change. The research found that, while Colombia has adopted international commitments and domestic regulations, normative gaps, institutional weakness, and a lack of coordination between public and private actors persist. It concluded that these limitations hinder the effective implementation of transnational standards in the country, affecting its alignment with international demands, especially those from the European Union. Finally, the study proposed measures to strengthen Colombia’s legal framework, including regulatory harmonization, institutional capacity building, and the promotion of corporate due diligence as a key tool to address climate change challenges from a human rights perspective.

    Desafíos jurídicos en la lucha contra el cambio climático : perspectivas internacionales y nacionales para la participación efectiva del Estado y el sector privado
    (Universidad EAFIT, 2024) Bran Rua , Ana Sofía; Vallejo Piedrahíta, Catalina
    Climate change is one of the main challenges we face as a society. For mitigating its effects, businesses play an equally fundamental role as countries; however, national and international regulation on this issue is insufficient in relation to the needs. Currently, the legal framework on this matter lacks the necessary specificity to ensure the accountability of the private sector in combating the effects of climate change. This situation allows many companies to evade their environmental responsibilities, compromising global efforts. This document aims to identify legal deficiencies and propose possible solutions to strengthen the legal framework regarding the role of the private sector in mitigating the effects of climate change.

    Los criterios ESG en las sociedades mercantiles colombianas : su origen histórico y trayectoria a la luz de los desarrollos en el panorama internacional
    (Universidad EAFIT, 2024) Villegas Nicholls, Tomás; Palacio Salazar , Simón; Lorenzoni Escobar, Lina
    The integration of ESG criteria in the business sphere is promoted as a key tool to ensure sustainability and competitiveness in a global context that demands greater transparency and corporate responsibility. This idea has resulted from a historical construction of the ESG concept, where a clear evolution of certain voluntary frameworks is identified up to their incorporation into regulatory frameworks, with the most recent example being Directive 2024/1760 of the European Union on sustainability due diligence. This has significant practical consequences, such as the coexistence of multiple ESG criteria, compliance with which could be leading to adaptation difficulties for companies. Following this trend, Colombia generally identifies a central body of ESG regulations that is being issued by the Financial Superintendence and the Superintendence of Companies, with a broad reference to frameworks and information standards from international professional organizations, all of which poses challenges in legal matters and also a different operation for companies.
