Trend axes - Privacy - Metalaw - Ownership right - Environmental impact ## Lawless Territory As in any territory associated with real life, immersion in the metaverse can generate threats. In the event of any confusion or infringement, it will be essential to protect both users and brands and intermediaries who may see their presence in these worlds endangered. However, in the same way, all the actors involved in the metaverse must have a series of responsibilities and rules of conduct that guarantee stability and a correct virtual coexistence. The generation of avatars and identities requires special supervision for the protection of data and infringement of rights and is one of the great challenges of the metaverse, which will have to establish ethical codes and its own "metajurisdiction" for the regulation of its spaces and users. In addition, growing environmental concerns have generated debate around the impact of the metaverse on sustainability and its compatibility with the SDGs. While it is clear that the volume of data will increase significantly, it is expected that the opportunities for interaction offered by these spaces will offset much of the emissions in other areas of our lives (tourism, travel, concerts, consumption...). We are facing a context that, if it is not free of laws, is covered by the digital rules that apply to the Internet, it needs a strict regulation that contemplates all the criminal situations that occur in the real world. ## Cases 01 / 04 Zorraquino spotlights 1. 01 Although trademark and intellectual property laws apply in the digital world, avatarization requires adapted protection. Different voices demand responsibility and common sense in a field that, for now, is free of jurisdiction. 2. 02 It is still too early to tell how far the metaverse will go and what impact it will have. However, when it comes to sustainability, the technology sector will have to focus on applications that reduce environmental impact to be in line with the SDGs. 3. 03 Particular attention is paid to the regulation of the economic system. The speed of transactions and the cross-border nature of these new environments may favour the emergence of new cybercriminals and money laundering activities. ## More on the trend ### References - [Barbados abre una embajada en el metaverso e inaugura la carrera de la diplomacia virtual](https://elpais.com/tecnologia/2021-11-19/barbados-abre-una-embajada-en-el-metaverso-e-inaugura-la-carrera-de-la-diplomacia-virtual.html) - [Un derecho por escribir en el metaverso](https://elpais.com/economia/negocios/2022-03-05/un-derecho-por-escribir-en-el-metaverso.html?rel=buscador%5Fnoticias) - [Calculating the future environmental impacts of the metaverse](https://www.verdict.co.uk/metaverse-environmental-impact/) - [Matrix For Cows: Rancher 'Traps' Cows In Metaverse To Improve Milk Production](https://www.indiatimes.com/technology/news/metaverse-for-cows-improve-milk-production-558998.html) - [Hermès demanda al creador de los MetaBirkins, los NFT inspirados en los famosos bolsos de la marca](https://smoda.elpais.com/moda/actualidad/hermes-demanda-al-creador-de-los-metabirkins-los-nft-inspirados-en-los-famosos-bolsos-de-la-marca/) - [Marcas comerciales en el metaverso](https://cincodias.elpais.com/cincodias/2022/03/08/legal/1646724757%5F146989.html) - [Un derecho por escribir en el metaverso](https://elpais.com/economia/negocios/2022-03-05/un-derecho-por-escribir-en-el-metaverso.html) - [Las vacas descubren el metaverso: producen más leche gracias a un visor](https://www.eleconomista.es/retail/noticias/11564821/01/22/Las-vacas-descubren-el-metaverso-producen-mas-leche-gracias-a-un-visor.html) - [Lo que pasa en el metaverso... ¿queda en el metaverso?](https://www.eleconomista.es/empresas-finanzas/noticias/11698629/04/22/Lo-que-pasa-en-el-metaverso-queda-en-el-metaverso.html) - [Las dos caras del metaverso ¿un universo con riesgos?](https://www.expansion.com/juridico/opinion/2022/04/07/624ebd24468aeb27118b466c.html) - [¿Contribuirá el metaverso a la sostenibilidad ambiental?](https://www.bbva.com/es/sostenibilidad/contribuira-el-metaverso-a-la-sostenibilidad-ambiental/) - [La economía del metaverso y la oportunidad para los nuevos players del digital commerce](https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/la-econom%C3%ADa-del-metaverso-y-oportunidad-para-los-marcos-pueyrredon/?trk=articles%5Fdirectory&originalSubdomain=es) - [Matrix For Cows: Rancher 'Traps' Cows In Metaverse To Improve Milk Production](https://www.indiatimes.com/technology/news/metaverse-for-cows-improve-milk-production-558998.html) Pages 51–62 of the report [![Emerging economies: Creation of commercial infrastructures.](https://cdn.sanity.io/images/0w1142l8/production/5469e83e57c6a5869614468dc92473e32a4d3990-1920x1439.webp/emerging-economies-creation-of-commercial-infrastructures.webp?w=1600&fit=max&auto=format&q=85)](https://www.zorraquino.com/en/trends/metaverse-trends-2022/emerging-economies) Next trend · 05 [Emerging economies](https://www.zorraquino.com/en/trends/metaverse-trends-2022/emerging-economies)
