Biography

Carlos Andrés Baquero is an Adjunct Professor at NYU School of Law, focusing on environmental law and the interplay between property rights and ecological issues. His courses, including the New Frontiers Rights Protection, Property Environment Seminar, tackle the evolution of rights in the context of climate change and biodiversity loss. Baquero emphasizes the importance of exploring legal personhood and its implications for nonhuman entities within ecological frameworks. He engages students in critical discussions about the current state of environmental governance and the role of legal professionals amid the climate catastrophe. His interdisciplinary approach combines legal, sociological, and anthropological perspectives, examining how law can respond to pressing environmental challenges by addressing traditional conceptions of property and rights. Baquero's commitment to advancing rights in more-than-human contexts reflects a paradigm shift necessary for addressing contemporary ecological crises.
