The transformative power of recognizing “ecocide”
A lunch with guest speakers

Thursday 19th January
12:30 - 14:30

 

What is missing to stimulate the collective change required to protect our future on this beautiful planet? 
How do we prevent finance flowing by default to projects that severely threaten vital ecosystems and communities around the world?

Discover how legal recognition of “ecocide” (severe and either widespread or long-term harm to nature) at the international level can create an outer-boundary guardrail, to safeguard the living world by deterring and preventing the worst harms, while leveling the playing field, stimulating innovation and stabilizing financial, operational and reputational risk.  

Join us at the beautiful Lan.Space, upstairs at the Ratia Centre on the Promenade, for a delicious buffet with guest speakers:
