Prize
winners and colleagues are invited to learn more about

Speaker
Natalia Greene, Global
Director of Global Alliance
for the Rights of
Nature | |
The
rights of nature movement is gaining momentum worldwide,
challenging traditional legal frameworks that separate
humans from the natural world. Two recent Goldman Prize
winners have been recognized for their rights of nature
victories: Mari Luz
Canaquiri (Peru, 2025) and Teresa
Vicente (Spain, 2024). Over 40 countries now
incorporate rights of nature through constitutional
provisions, local ordinances, ecosystem protection
efforts, or emerging legal
initiatives.
Internationally, rights of
nature are increasingly being referenced in treaties,
legal instruments, and declarations, reflecting a
broader shift toward systemic recognition of ecosystems
as rights-bearing entities. In her presentation, Natalia
Greene from Global Alliance for the Rights
of Nature (GARN) will explore landmark legal cases
from Ecuador where courts have upheld and enforced the
rights of nature. The presentation will also highlight
international examples of rights of nature in
practice. | |
