In the context of neo-extractivism in Latin America (specifically in Argentina), the aim is to address the “collateral damage” that development and economic progress projects have on socio-environmental variables. Through a descriptive and relational analysis, the environmental-social costs that such action generates will be addressed, increased in subjects who are in situations of vulnerability -local communities that are displaced and affected by the development of economic projects-. This situation generates a social-ecological debt (environmental and social liabilities) that requires measures for the remediation and compensation of said debt and arbitrating legal mechanisms for the preservation and prevention of environmental rights.

Based on the foregoing, this paper aims to: a) explain the relationship between the environment and human rights, and then b) frame the problem of environmental-social costs generated by a practice of commodification of natural resources; c) evidencing the relationship between these costs and contexts of socio-environmental vulnerability; d) Address measures of remediation and compensation of the generated social-ecological debt and measures to prevent environmental rights.

Palabras llave : Commodification - Environmental-social costs- social-environmental vulnerability-environmental liabilities.
