Polly Higgins on Ecocide, Climate Breakdown and Purposeful Living - E159


Listen Later

How do we harness our life force to protect the Earth?

This episode is a special tribute to Polly Higgins 'Earth Lawyer', a visionary barrister, author and environmental lobbyist, who devoted all her time to one client - the Earth. Since 2010, she lobbied the UN Law Commission to recognise ecocide as an international crime making the word "ecocide" globally understood inspiring parliamentarians, ecologists, lawyers to artists. It was a proposal Polly envisioned to become a powerful law to protect the Earth and its diverse ecologies and communities; an economical and political game changer. We initially aired this episode in late 2018, and Polly passed away shortly after. Polly's life's work continues to be of urgency to protect the future of this beautiful planet and its people.

Amisha and Polly speak about how Polly's ecocide quest began with a powerful thought, 'the Earth is in need of a good lawyer', which crossed her mind whilst continuously witnessing big transnational corporations, fossil fuel extraction, Monsanto industrialised agriculture, ExxonMobil, causing massive destruction in the world. She describes this as a 'critical choice point' that called her to step into her higher life purpose.

Polly shares how international laws are created and how forging financial access to bring vulnerable Nations to the table of negotiations of ecocide laws became a vital part of her mission. She reveals that gifting culture and growing law literacy were the predominant modus operandi driving her teams' mission to expand our communities of resilient Earth protectors.

We learn that life presents all of us with tiny windows of opportunity to completely change our lives and that of those around us. These are tipping points of radical change where we can harness our life force to serve humanity and Earth.
