This talk focuses on the implementation processes of the Colombian court decisions that recognized the rights of nature for the Atrato River and the Amazon. More specifically, this presentation highlights the advances and challenges which impact the development of the rights of nature in Colombia, including the recent recognition of some territories as being victims of the armed conflict, which has expanded the spectrum of analysis of their rights in Colombia and the perspectives in other countries of the region. Likewise, this presentation will focus on showing a line of analysis from the perspective of public administrations and land use planning processes. This analysis positions land use planning as a necessary element for administrators and leaders to identify when discussing the implications of the recognition of nature as a subject of rights for state functions from ecocentric perspectives. Furthermore, the examination focuses on analyzing how, in the context of climate change, it is essential to reevaluate the administrative functions that are related to environmental, climatic and territorial protection because the survival of ecosystems, human beings and cultures must be a priority for public administration.
