All of a sudden, momentum is swiftly building to introduce a global crime of ecocide, alongside genocide, war crimes and crimes against humanity – making severe, widespread and long-lasting environmental destruction illegal under international law.

A few weeks ago, a high level panel of experts proposed a legal definition of ecocide, lifting the discussion into the next level. We’re no longer just talking about an idea. There is an active proposal to make this law, driven by some of the world’s leading international jurists.

Speakers:
Jojo Mehta, chair of the Stop Ecocide Foundation direct from the UK
Dr Michelle Maloney, founder of The Australian Earth Laws Alliance
Senator Sarah Hanson-Young, Green Institute environment spokesperson,.
