And the second marks the end of the licensing cycle, it carries “The responsibility of the public administration for climate inaction: case of Gas in the Gulf of Kabuno”. This dissertation analyzes the issue relating to State responsibility for climate inaction in the hydrocarbon sector, particularly the case of methane gas in the Gulf of Kabuno. About the obligation of the State established in principle 7 of the Rio declaration as well as in article 53 of the constitution, the abstention of the State from not taking measures to ensure a healthy environment any person may be held liable. The case under examination is an illustration. The State is required to respect the precautionary principle, but in the present case, there appears to be silence on the part of the State. This inaction is at the root of eco-anxiety harm that deserves to be repaired. Regarding the justiciability of the State, we noted, despite the mechanisms of common law, that a clear obligation is imposed on the State to act to prevent the imminent danger of gas in the Gulf of Kabuno. Then, in view of the complexity of environmental law, we noted the need for the creation of a specialized chamber in the administrative courts to deal with this type of questions in mastering the requirements of art. The latter was published by Éditions Universitaires Européennes.
