Abstract
The current trend in countries with advanced economies is to promote consumption and production patterns that internalize environmental impacts through a combination of various instruments, such as liability for environmental damage, proprietary mechanisms and contracts. The article investigates the evolution of the role of private law in environmental protection from a comparative perspective, reflecting in particular on how torts, contracts, and property have been considered in different contexts in order to develop specific environmental policies.
