How earth lawyers are making nature’s rights legally binding


Listen Later

What if rivers, forests, and mountains had legal rights–just like humans? Nature should be able to defend its rights, just like people can, says Earth Law Center’s Executive Director Grant Wilson on the Climate Curious podcast. Current laws only protect nature for the benefit of people, corporations, and profit, but Grant Wilson and his team of super lawyers are changing that. From the innovative ‘Nature on the Board’ concept to gaining legal personhood for Nature to pre-emptively protect its rights, Grant joins Climate Curious’ co-host Maryam Pasha to share stories of landmark wins around the world from Peru to Ireland, and Colombia to New Zealand.
