Stop Ecocide International is the advocacy organisation at the heart of the global conversation on ecocide law.  We track, amplify and support this legal initiative, which is now being taken up by lawmakers around the world.  

We aim for the most severe, and widespread or long-term environmental harms to be recognised as international crimes.  Our charitable Foundation commissioned the drafting of the Independent Expert Panel definition of ecocide published in 2021.

We provide expert advice on ecocide law, its rationale, implications and progress in multiple jurisdictions.  We particularly focus on developing the ecocide conversation at the International Criminal Court through official side events and collaborations with interested states.

With 15 years of experience in this space, and with teams and associate groups in 50+ countries, we work with diplomats, politicians, lawyers, corporate leaders, NGOs, indigenous and faith groups, influencers, academics, grassroots campaigns and many more.

We connect and convene, organise and participate in UN conferences, industry and civil society events, panels, podcasts, documentaries and conversations across multiple media.  We build networks of special interest groups around ecocide law and provide resources for those wanting to support.
