LINKING NATURE AND CULTURE: THE PDO AND PGI LEGAL MODEL IN THE FACE OF CLIMATE CHANGE, SUSTAINABILITY AND BIOCULTURAL RIGHTS

Abstract

The impact of climate change on PDO and PGI production can provide an excellent laboratory for verifying precisely whether, and to what extent, climate risks are perceived in a sector so closely linked to territories and climate; whether climate change requires a modification of the agricultural production model and the legal model to enable production to adapt to climate risks and sustainability requirements, particularly in the light of new « sui generis » human rights such as biocultural rights.
