Regulation of Environmental Insurance in Argentina

Mandatory environmental insurance is a management tool that fulfils a preventive and restorative function of environmental damage, provided for in Argentine law as a means to ensure the recomposition of the environment. However, the inclusion of this figure in Law 25.675, and its subsequent regulation, has been framed in a space of discussion about its scope and viability that has led the National Supreme Court to rule on the issue. During 2017-18 we carried out this research at the Faculty of Law of the University of Belgrano to analyse it through the study of different aspects: its legal regulation, its reception by the actors involved and its jurisprudential application. This paper is the result of this research.
