          Abstract

          El principio de precaución nos exige que en caso de amenaza para el medio ambiente o la salud y en una situación de incertidumbre científica se tomen las medidas apropiadas para prevenir el daño. No sin dificultades a lo largo de estos últimos años el principio ha ido afianzándose como un elemento dentro del ámbito político y jurídico de numerosos países y, sobre todo, a nivel europeo e internacional. A pesar de los problemas suscitados, el principio representa una herramienta valiosa en la configuración de un nuevo paradigma para las políticas públicas requeridas por los desafíos presentes y futuros.

          Translated abstract

          The precautionary principle is a response to uncertainty in the face of risks to health or the environment. In general, it involves taking measures to avoid potential harm, despite lack of scientific certainty. In recent years it has been applied, not without difficulties, as a legal and political principle in many countries, particularly on the European and International level. In spite of the controversy, the precautionary principle has become an integral component of a new paradigm for the creation of public policies needed to meet today's challenges and those of the future.
