🎙 Episode 6: Weaving
A Path to Ecological
Justice |
| |
In this dialogue, we
reflect on the deep connections, and
sometimes tensions, between the Rights of
Nature and other global movements such as
degrowth, radical democracy, and
post-development, challenging us to look beyond
the dominant frameworks of “progress” and
“development” and inviting us to engage in
processes of radical
reimagining. |

Our guests are Ashish
Kothari, an Indian environmentalist and one
of the co-creators of the Global Tapestry of
Alternatives (GTA), a global process that
connects grassroots initiatives building
ecological and social justice around the world,
and Francesco Martone, an
Italian-Ecuadorian jurist and activist, Chair of
the Assembly of Judges for the International
Rights of Nature Tribunal and a long-standing
advocate for the convergence between
environmental justice and human
rights.

Ashish and Francesco
discuss the importance of grounding our visions
in lived, local alternatives that already
exist: community-led economies, Indigenous
self-determination, feminist governance, and the
legal defense of Nature as a living being. They
also examine how legal frameworks like the
Rights of Nature can intersect with movements
grounded in practice, care, and reciprocity,
rather than extraction, commodification, or
superficial reform.
As Ashish puts it, if
our world is made up of many worlds, the
question is not how to replicate one model
everywhere, but how to connect, learn, and
walk together across difference. Francesco,
speaking from the perspective of the Rights of
Nature Tribunal, highlights the need for these
movements to weave their efforts together,
without losing the plurality and richness that
define
them. | |
