At a time when sustainability seems to have become the watchword in any post‐pandemic policy, the article focuses on what contribution private law can make in setting up an efficient system of environmental protection. The comparatist’s gaze goes beyond the national horizon and analyses the evolution of the law in different contexts, considering the challenges that environmental protection and climate change pose compared to classical canons of intervention, where dialogue with the social sciences is increasingly present and the overlapping of international, European and national sources punctuates the work of the interpreter.
