Introduction: In this powerful episode of She Changes, I am honored to speak with Jojo Mehta, a leading advocate in the global movement to make ecocide—the mass damage and destruction of ecosystems—a recognised international crime. 

Jojo Mehta co-founded Stop Ecocide in 2017, alongside barrister and legal pioneer the late Polly Higgins, to support the establishment of ecocide as a crime at the International Criminal Court.

As CEO and key spokesperson, she has overseen the remarkable growth of the movement while coordinating between legal developments, diplomatic traction and public narrative.

She is Chair of the charitable Stop Ecocide Foundation and convenor of the Independent Expert Panel for the Legal Definition of Ecocide chaired by Philippe Sands QC and Dior Fall Sow. The resulting definition, launched in June 2021, has catalysed legislative developments, recommendations and resolutions at national, regional and international levels.'

Episode Overview: Jojo and I begin by defining what ecocide is and why it’s critical to recognise it as a crime on par with genocide and war crimes. We explore the legal frameworks necessary to hold those responsible for environmental destruction accountable and discuss the vital connection between ecocide laws and the broader rights of nature movement.

One of the most inspiring aspects of our conversation is hearing how Jojo’s young daughter motivated her to take action. After learning about the dangers of fracking, her daughter’s simple yet profound questioning—sparked Jojo’s resolve to protect the environment for future generations.

Key Takeaways:

* Defining Ecocide: Understand the concept of ecocide and why it’s crucial to criminalise large-scale environmental destruction. Inspiration from the Next Generation:

* How Jojo’s daughter inspired her to take action.

* Rights of Nature: Explore how ecocide laws are different from but deeply connected to the growing movement for recognising the rights of nature, ensuring that ecosystems have legal standing and protection.

* The Power of Advocacy: Learn how we can all help by spreading the word about ecocide laws and advocating for their implementation globally.

Call to Action: Jojo emphasises that everyone has a role to play in this movement. By telling others about the concept of ecocide and supporting the push for its recognition in international law, we can collectively work towards a future where the Earth is protected from catastrophic harm.

Closing: Thank you for joining us in this crucial conversation. If you were inspired by this episode, please share it with your network and consider supporting the efforts of Stop Ecocide International. Together, we can make a difference.
