In this special issue on climate change and criminology, innovative approaches are proposed to prevent environmental crimes, combining critical criminology, ultra-realism, and eco-theology. The analysis also explores forestry legislation in Mexico, highlighting its focus on commercial regulation rather than environmental protection. The role of restorative justice in environmental accountability is discussed, along with the challenges of recognizing ecocide as an international crime. Astro-Green Criminology is introduced as a new field studying environmental crimes in space, and concerns are raised about Bitcoin's ecological impact. Other studies link ecocide to genocide and analyze the Arctic climate crisis as a form of white ecocide. Finally, reflections on environmental interdependence and inequality highlight the urgent need to rethink power structures and ecological justice in a warming world.
